MI Project Requirements
Hello all, I'm hoping someone might be able to help me out with this: I'm working on a web-based mapping project using .html maps created with MI 6.0, and corresponding .mdb files for the MI .tabs used. For the end product, we would like to have a form created on the website where clients could update their information, submit the form and update the .mdb. ( we would also like to have the maps automatically updated, but I'm assuming this would require MapXtreme?). Essentially we would like an end user having only Proviewer, to be able to download the saved .wor files for each .html map( as well as view the .html version), download the database itself( in .mdb format), and update their information/submit it to a webmaster from a Form( compatible with MSACCESS). Could someone provide a basic heads up on the software requirements, processes etc. that would be required ? We are currently working with MSACCESS, NetScape Composer, and MapInfo 6.0.

MI MapInfo 6.0 and Microsoft Access Database
Hello all! I'm working on creating some html maps based on a Microsoft Access Database file. The files contain company locations and information, and the locations are displayed with links to the information for that company. The database itself however will be regularly updated and modified, and I'm not sure which program would be best to use to "manage"/update the data( MSAccess?MI??). I understand there's some database linking capabilities as well...would this allow both .mdb and .tab files to be simultaneously updated, and would this be compatible with the .html end format? The end users will not be using MI, but would also like to enable them to modify the information from the website via a form( i.e so companies can update their information themselves and/or add new entries/ Any assistance greatly appreciated!

We can easily concatenate them as we need. It's also very practical for the dispay parameter when you zoom in an out. So, We have all wet land, power lines tower, Sensitive area, slopes, etc. All we have to do is create a buffer of the necessery size on the feature according to the bylaw.

MI Formating columns
I'm trying to link 2 tables with a common column "PIN#". The problem is, in one table, the column has a default of 9 digits( Char) with 2-3 zeros inserted in front of the actual number. In the other table, only the number itself is displayed with 6-7 digits( i.e. without the zeros). Is there a way to either delete the zeros from the 1st table or make the second table 9 digits in length with the zeros added.? Can this be done directly in MI or a text editor or spreadsheet?

Natalie Swayze Spectrum, IC WPG -- From: Doyle, Peter W To: 'Mapinfo-L' Subject: MI Workspace regression utility Date: Tuesday, February 15, 2000 1:12AM Greetings, Recently I have noticed there are a number of people inquiring about how to open a Workspace that was created by a later version of MapInfo. As most of us are probably aware, the process is relatively simple yet time consuming. Eg. use a text editor to edit the header of the workspace, and then try to eliminate those lines that are not supported be earlier versions. (can be frustrating at times). As I have a need to do this quite often, I decided to automate the process by writing a simple MapBasic utility. I have taken a very simplistic approach - 1) Read in the workspace 2) Change the header 3) Disregard all lines except for the table information 4) Save out to new workspace You are left with a stripped down workspace that should load into any MapInfo version, although you have now lost any formatting, layouts etc. If you think this may suite your needs, or you just want to check it out, Email me directly and I will forward it to you.

Linking data sets with MI
Hello all, I've come up with a bit of a problem in terms of MI table linkages. I'm working with Autocad( .dxf, .dwg, .dbf) maps of a small towns. There are 2 files for each:one with topological info and another without. I've imported and geocoded both maps into MI, but there's no information contained in the tables. In order to link the map to the non-toplogical data, will the Autocad file have to be opened with an external database program eg)Microsoft Access? If so what are the required steps. Also, to make the whole thing more complicated, the map polygons( town properties) on the Autocad files are labelled with a "PIN" number and I will have to reference this id tag somehow to a FoxPro dataset which uses "ADDRESS" to label each polygon. Will I have to dig up another dataset which links these 2 ids, or is there a way around it with MI? ANY suggestions much appreciated! ( I"ve attached the similar ArcInfo procedures) <> Natalie Swayze Spectrum/ROS/IC/GC/CA From: Finnie, Malcolm (NR) To: '[EMAIL PROTECTED]' Subject: re: linking your data Date: Monday, January 24, 2000 10:16AM Hi Natalie: Pleased to see things got off to a good start with our data. I unfortunately have no knowledge of Mapinfo so I'm limited in the advice I can give you. Most vendor packages like Arcinfo and AutoCAD have a built in database creationfunction. That is, once you have built clean topology, it will allow you to create an external .dbf (database file) based on the graphics. It will prompt you for what data entities you want to transfer from the graphics into the tables in the external database. In the case of our data you would start by selecting the PIN number as one field you want in the database. I know in the case of ArcInfo in the build topology phase it computes the perimiter and area for each polygon. Some packages also compute the UTM coordinates of the centroid or of the reference mark for the display label for each polygon. You have a choice of exporting all of these entities to your external .dbf. Once you have created your system .dbf you can then import this data into a secondary database software program like Foxpro or Microsoft Access. At this stage you have 2 independent sets of tables in your master database file - the graphics set and your text database set and you must create some linkage or relationship between the two. Not always an easy task ! I still think that importing the Stats Canada Area Master file data (ie. civic addresses) into ourgraphics will do the trick provided you can place each street address completely withineach of our graphics polygons. This data - the civic address - then becomes common to bothexternal databases - the one derived from the graphics and the Foxpro onecontaining your data. I could take a look at a sample from your FoxPro data and see if I canspot any other linkage mechanisms if you wish. John Leferink or Robert McMahon out at Birds Hill may be able to offer some further guidance but they too would have to see you Foxpro data to see exactly what your data looks like that you wish to link to the graphics - or perhaps your colleagues know some other Mapinfo users who could help you out. All the best. ...Malcolm

Re: MI Calculate Raster Area / Convert to Vector
Could you please forward any info you recieve? -Natalie Swayze - From: Roy Chiappini To: Damian Skeeles Cc: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: MI Calculate Raster Area / Convert to Vector Date: Sunday, December 05, 1999 12:56AM Damian has a reasonable request and one that seems to identify somewhat of a weakness in MI, i.e., ability to do something with raster images. I use MI and Vertical Mapper. Vertical Mapper uses is quite flexible with grid (grd & grc) files. All that is needed is to be able to convert a raster image to a .grd file in one of the formats that is recognizable with either or both MI and VM. This appears to be a real chore. At least, I haven't seen any 'successful' results or discussions about it. All of my inqueries have left me feeling like I'm the only one in the world who doesn't know how to convert an image into an ascii array of values that are related to image colors. Then that file could be modified with the appropriate header and be importable via Vertical Mapper and wa la you have a grid file that you can do something with. I have been dinking around, off and on, breaks for Army Navy & Gators and Bama, and haven't solved it yet. Damians edge detector idea would be great, but what about drawing the regions after the image w/edges detected is georeference. Then you gotta create a new map and trace over the regions. I takes enough time that the quest for the better way is the only way.

I will give you some tips on how we cheat with Windows to avoid memory dumping. Large files require alot of memory for processing. At least twice again more virtual memory than the file you process. This memory comes from your hard drive. If your hard drive is nearly full you might try making more memory availble for windows to use. Try 1 gegabyte free memory. Run Scan disk and Defrag the hard drive. Increase Ram Memory some programs are Ram memory intensive and will require alot of memory to keep operating. We have aleast 128 megs of ram on all of our processing CPU's The more the better. Disable window mangement of Virtual Memeory. The last tip is for the risk taking in you. for some programs we extend the processing limits of our desktops. To cheat we disable the Virtual Memory and give the computer all but say 200 megs of the hard drive where the data is on. make sure to restore the memory control back to windows later when you want the cpu to work normal for the rest of your processing.

ROS/IC/GC WPG., MB. -- From: Thomas Gülden To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: MI Interactive Maps on CD-ROM Date: Thursday, August 26, 1999 5:55PM Dear Listers, We, at the Bavarian Geological Survey want to use alternative media to distribute and document geological maps and geological data. Before there was only the usual analog paper map and booklet for explanations. Now, we want to produce a kind of interactive CD-ROM where the text explanations and features on the map are interlinked. As a very broad approach we thought of a web-style product where the user can use hotlinks to navigate through the informations, get popup explanations etc. . The product would be static and self contained, no connection to any data server is intended. The user should be able to display various map layers, klick on a map object to get information displayed (either a database table or a chapter in the explanation or even a list of possible links) or the other way round should be possible: klick on a hyperlink in the explanation and have the related map object displayed. Since I have absolutely no experience with development of web pages, I would like to ask the list about the product we would need to develop such a CD-ROM (i.e FrontPage for the design of the web pages, MapXtreme or MapX for the map components, product from other vendors). ? Is the intended approach feasable, realistic or appropriate at all or would somebody recommend a complete different design of such a product. Does anybody have experiences with similar projects ? Are there any licensing issues to be considered using map components distributed on CD-ROM ? Any comments, suggestions would be very welcome.

MI saving workspaces
Hello all, Does anyone know whether or not it is possible to save workspaces onto a cd, so that they can be reopened from a different pc( i.e. one that does not have the original .tab files in the directory which they were made in)? I have a series of map layers( 8 .tab files), which I've created on my hard drive and created workspaces for which include all of these layers. But, when saved onto the cds, MI recalls where the tables were originally located and asks to locate each one individually... Can this be avoided by saving the individual files to the cd first, and then reopening them off the cds and making the workspace?
