MI - Round doesn't work in Create Ranges (MB5)
Hi - In Map Basic I can't make the Round statement work in Create Ranges for any values less than 1. ie Round 0.1 doesn't, it defaults to 1. Is this a bug - I am using MB 5.0.18 or 19 from memory. Sorry if this has been addressed - I have been off the list for a year.

MI ODBC Error
Hi Mappers: Does anyone else get this error with ODBC? "ODBC Error: ODBC RC=-1, ODBC SQLState=S1000, DBMS RC=0, DBMS Msg=[Microsoft][ODBC SQL Server Driver]Connection is busy with results from another hstmt." It seems to happen whenever I first open up a table, and also when I try to do a refresh. I am using SQL Server 6.5 and MapInfo 5.5. Thanks a bunch!

re: MI GeoObjects 2?
Richard, We sincerely apologize about the delay in getting back to you regarding web sites that are using GeoObjects. I know it's a poor excuse, but we've been absolutely swamped with our GeoObjects Competitive Upgrade offer, having upgraded several hundred MapObjects and MapX developers in the last few weeks. As we informed you of earlier, our GeoObjects Internet Map Server product simply doesn't exist yet. Information isn't available on our website at this point, we'll let you know when detailed information and pricing is available. We are in fact compiling a list of sites that are using the component as we move towards the formal launch of our GeoObjects Internet Map Server product. We've always found it hard to promote a product until it actually ships. Things are just easier for both our users and us that way. We're happy to hear that GeoObjects meets the task for you. Of course, our documentation is targeted towards developers as they are ultimately the users of the product. Please get me a list of issues with the Getting Started Guide documentation, we'll incorporate them into the next release. We strive to make it better daily. If you haven't noticed, the GeoObjects Getting Started Guide is patterned after the ESRI MapObjects Getting Started Guide demo and documentation, focused primarily on upgrading MO developers to the Blue Marble GeoObjects component. The documentation was quite simplified as the underlying product is quite a bit simplier to use. Richard, I know this is a long post but I have a quick story for you that may be somewhat relevant. While I was in college I frequented a shop that made canoe paddles and oars (Shaw and Tenney in Old Town, Maine) . I got to know the Mr. Tenney (the "master" maker) very well. They made "firsts" which were perfect, and "seconds" which were slightly imperfect. The company name only went on the firsts, never the seconds. I asked Mr. Tenney why he never put his company name on a "second". He explained to me that someone seeing the paddle lying about in a canoe would never know it wasn't a first and would assume that it was his best effort. Blue Marble will put it's name on its internet map server solution as soon as it's available (as a "first") and do it's best to tell the world about it.

I need some MB code that will make a lot of maps one right after the other with the same legend. I am a MB novice, I got something (sort of) but its not pretty and most of all its not really doing the job, And I have a deadline Does anyone have code I could use? (OK, I am in a way asking you to do this for me ... but if you have already done it..! ) I have counties of WA state. They are joined to a file with disease rates. county 1 ... 39 for each county disease rates a b c d e f ... I want to produce maps in png format (to make a www page) one after the other 1a.png 1b.png 1c.png 2a.png 2b.png 2c.png ... ... 39a.png 39b.png 39c.png ... With the same legend (manually set intervals, same color scheme) Any help, code, ideas (or volunteers) would really be useful. I think I know enough to augment someone else's code. Richard E.

I am trying to try out GeoObjects 2 by Bluemarble Geographics www.bluemarblegeo.com And I say "try" because Bluemarble seems pretty thin on getting you started. They have a competitive upgrade from MapXtreme and MapObjects. It all looks appealing, but I found the documentation in the demo and the downloaded product to be very thin. Having said that I am not a developer, terribly internet savvy - although I have a grasp of GIS and certainly about what I want to do. Responses to questions to BLuemarble appear as eMAIL form letters with little to do with my original question. I am surprised. I have asked Bluemarble, I guess, 20 times about the locations of sites that use GeoObjects. No response. So ... do YOU know of sites? I can't spend time and money on the product, appealing as it is, until I get some critique and see if anyone is actually using it. The demo I downloaded is exactly what I need but of course that is not enough to proceed with a development effort. For the site I am planning, a disease atlas, we plan to use MapXteme (but with limited seats) for high end users that need all that MapXtreme claims to do (emphasis on claims) and maybe Bluemarble's creation for other things. The demo worked great (once I decoded the documentation) but the people don't seem to really be there. Anyone out there know of sites, have comments, or explain why BLuemarble can't fax me price quotes, or respond to several questions I have asked them? If they do not have their act together, I need to know it - maybe they are just all on vacation - it there is some other problem I need to know that too. I am wondering if they are really in business! But I emphasize that what I have seen looks very positive and there might really be something there to seriously consider for GIS internet wannabes.

Re: MI automatically populate a column with Lat/Long values?
Greetings Mats.E Agreed - Dynamic is good and although I sing MapInfo praises, there are a few tools that don't come in the standard user interface. The design challenge for the GeoBasemap mapping system was to deliver value in a generic product. Fortunately we have had a pretty good user experience with this module, perhaps in part because we stress the need to update columns after editing in both the user doc and training. But more likely the uses of our Mapping System (and most subscribers to MapInfo-L) are a little above your "average" MapInfo users. When I design an app from scratch, I specify locations in lat/long, store attributes in a relational database and add some nice VB or Microsoft Access database edit screens, hot-linked to the MapInfo via Mapinker. And sometimes we build the Blue Marble co-ordinatate conversion dll into the database forms. But that require custom development that comes at a price. We are trying to bring down the cost of custom development with our Images+/MapLinker suite but I suspect the market is segemnted - The "applicaiton user" (who needs a nicely tailored custom interface), the advanced GIS consultant (who appreciates our Mapping System) and the more advanced GIS applicaiton builders (who could leverage off our MapLinker product but might not appreicate the simplicity of our Mapping System product). Yes, Mats, I agree with your comments. Dynamic is good. And it is always a challenge to deliver just the right level of technology for each situation and each end user. .

O sea que si no quereis recibir mensajes de mi lista el dia de mañana hacer un REPLY y poner REMOVE en el Asunto/Subject ¿Será de verdad posible? ¡Hay gente que dice haber ganado al menos 50.000 dólares en sólo 4 semanas! Puede ser difícil de creer, pero siga leyendo Desde hace algunas semanas busco trabajo en Internet recorriendo grupos de noticias, tablones, avisos clasificados, etc. Allí encontré un artículo como este, me quedé pensando: debe ser simplemente una cadena, ¿Funcionará? Esto no es nuevo, ya se ha hecho durante décadas por correo tradicional y no sé de nadie que haya hecho dinero. La diferencia con lo que se hacía antes con el correo tradicional es que esta cadena no depende de cinco o diez personas a las que les llega la carta, sino que ¡ es para todo él ¡mundo! Y EN INTERNET HAY MILLONES DE PERSONAS QUE VERAN EL AVISO. Pensándolo bien es un verdadero trabajo... ¿Y SI FUNCIONA?... Al final me decidí y allá voy. Si tu también te decides no creas que va a ser fácil, es necesario colocar este mensaje en todos los lugares de la WEB que se te ocurra, publicarlo en news, tablones, avisos clasificados, etc. cuanto mayor sea la cantidad de veces que lo repitas mejor para ti (y para mí por supuesto) por eso te digo que es un verdadero trabajo. Busca nuevos informes, nuevos clasificados, esta es la gran cadena de la red si quieres entrar a participar arriésgate, mucha gente ha gastado mayor cantidad de dinero en cosas que realmente no valieron la pena. Si te pones a pensar en lo que bien puede resultar, en la cantidad de personas con animo emprendedor y honradas que de enterarse se decidirían a jugar. VAMOS A AYUDARNOS TODOS los que queremos dinero en una cadena que irá creciendo con mas colaboradores todos los días y la manera más GRANDIOSA DE HACER DINERO para los que queremos aprovechar esta gran red mundial de información. También va a depender de tu constancia para seguir publicando y tu habilidad para promocionarlo. Y miles (como tú y yo) se van a decidir. PUEDES GANAR MILES DE DOLARES EN POCAS SEMANAS CON UNA MÍNIMA INVERSION. Yo tenía preguntas cuya respuesta necesitaba antes de meterme en un asunto de ese tipo: ¿ES LEGAL? Llamé a un abogado primero. El abogado era un poco escéptico de que yo pudiera realmente hacer dinero, pero me dijo que ES LEGAL, por si quería intentarlo. Me dijo que sonaba un poco como una carta de cadena, pero los detalles del sistema (VER ABAJO) lo hacían un negocio legítimo, perfectamente legal. Por eso, teniendo esta contestación, invertí EXACTAMENTE 22,75 dólares catorce billetes de un dólar cada uno y siete sellos de correos y ¡me alegro de haberlo hecho! A los siete días empecé a recibir dinero en el correo. ¡Estaba sorprendido! Pensé que duraría poco, y no pensé más en ello. Pero el dinero continuaba llegando. En mi primera semana hice entre 20 y 30 dólares. Al final de la segunda semana tenía un total de ¡1.000 dólares! A la tercera semana, más de 42.000, y todavía están llegando ¡En verdad, merece la inversión de 14 dólares y siete sellos! Por eso, estoy volviéndolo a mandar para hacer más dinero. ¡Lo ÚNICO que puede PARAR a alguien de enriquecer su propia cuenta corriente es su propia pereza! Me llevó cinco minutos imprimir esta carta, seguir las instrucciones y empezar a mandarla a grupos de noticias. Y a cambio de esa gran inversión de 22,75 dólares y menos de UNA HORA de mi tiempo, he cosechado una increíble cantidad de dinero ¡cómo nada que haya oído antes! Déjame decirte cómo funciona, y más importante, POR QUÉ funciona. Debes, IMPRIMIR O HACER UNA COPIA DE ESTE ARTÍCULO, para tener acceso a la información cuando la necesites. El proceso es muy simple y consiste en TRES FACILES PASOS. COMO FUNCIONA PASO 1: Prepara siete piezas de papel y escribe lo siguiente en cada hoja: POR FAVOR, AÑÁDAME A SU LISTA DE CORREOS LE ADJUNTO DOS DÓLARES COMO PAGO POR EL SERVICIO. Escribe luego tu dirección electrónica (e-mail) (ESTO ES CRUCIAL Y ES LO QUE LO HACE LEGAL, PORQUE TU ESTAS PAGANDO POR Y MÁS TARDE RECIBIENDO UN SERVICIO) Ahora toma catorce billetes de un dólar, envuélvelos de a DOS DOLARES en un papel oscuro, y a su vez envuelve cada envoltorio de papel oscuro con una de las hojas donde escribiste POR FAVOR... de forma que su apariencia externa sea de una carta, para prevenir robos. Coloca cada envoltorio dentro de un sobre y ciérralos. Ahora deberías tener siete sobres cerrados, cada uno con una hoja de papel con la frase indicada arriba y dos billetes de un dólar. Envía los siete sobres
