I reduced the records first to 40K. Switched to a different machine. It ran overnight and was finished before morning. I don't know if: A. The machine made a difference or B. If the progress bar was really accurate since I stopped the mbx before it finished.
I believe we are going to use MapExtreme to calculate the distances when we move to the actual application. I was just using the desktop to see if it would work. Also, we need a more specific distance than just every record in one table comparing to every record in another table. I believe Extreme will allow us to program more functionality. I am not a programmer, so I just happy to see it worked Mike Hankins -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Evan MacDougall Sent: Thursday, October 12, 2006 2:26 PM To: Peter Horsbøll Møller; mapinfo-l@lists.directionsmag.com Subject: RE: [MI-L] SV: Distance calc mbx We're using version 8.5. -Evan MacDougall GIS Supervisor "Gentlemen, we may not make history tomorrow, but we shall certainly change the geography." -----Original Message----- From: Peter Horsbøll Møller [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Thursday, October 12, 2006 12:11 PM To: Evan MacDougall; mapinfo-l@lists.directionsmag.com Subject: RE: [MI-L] SV: Distance calc mbx Which version of MapInfo are you using ? The Distance Calculator was improved in version 8.0 when the Nearest statement was added. Calculating the distance between 45 airport and the nearest coast line in Denmark tool close to 1 minute. Do remember that the distance is between the point and the closest part of the coast line. Calculating the distance between 21000 addresses and 45 airports took 30 seconds Calculating the distance between 45 airports and 21000 addresses took 30 seconds, too. Calculating the distance between 21000 addresses and 500 railroad stations took 2 minutes and 30 seconds. So it doesn't have to be that slow Peter Horsbøll Møller GIS Developer, MTM Geographical Information & IT COWI A/S Odensevej 95 DK-5260 Odense S.

Just running 20 or 50 or even 100 records takes way too long, IMO. Why should it take 10-20 minutes to do 100-200 records? Seems like it should work a lot quicker. -Evan MacDougall GIS Supervisor "Gentlemen, we may not make history tomorrow, but we shall certainly change the geography." -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Watertech - Jacob K.

You could also run the command with RamDisk (www.cenatek.com) as temporary drive to reduce the disk activity. And finally you could save the results in an array and only save on disk for every 1.000-10.000 points - also to reduce the disk activity. Best regards Jacob K.
