MI MAPBASIC: Putting inside strings, eg string = Press Push
Hi, I have a program that only exports files to NonEarth (it's a bug in their software) I'm trying to write a MB app that will read in their MIF file, replace with an appropriate projection and then import into Mapinfo. However the string that defines the projection has "m" within it, ie the inverted comma's need to be part of the string. I've tried ""m"" but that doesn't work. I KNOW theirs a way of doing this, but how? (the rest works fine!) Help appreciated, Thanks, Michelle, Melbourne, Australia [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Re: MI NAD 83(1994)
Chuck, Chances are, it is the HARN for your state, wherever that is since you don't identify yourself beyond "AOL." Check into the NGS site (http://www.ngs.noaa.gov) to find the date of your state's HARN adjustment. However, if you are working with MapInfo, do you really think the specific HARN adjustment coordinate set versus a standard NADCON conversion is going to make a discernable difference at the centimeter level? Distinguishing between the two is a Geodetic problem, not a Cartographic problem for most people. You are using MapInfo for Boundary Surveys? At the centimeter level on the ground? I'll bet a whole lot of people would like to hear about that, if that's what you're really doing. Clifford J.

Dear all, I may be missing something very simple here, but is there a way to 'reverse-link' a MapInfo table into an ODBC database?

Re: MI AND AV in the same office?
When we made the effort to bring GIS technology to our organization five years ago, we chose MapInfo to stay compatible with our clients who also use MapInfo. Since our organization is associated with the University of North Dakota, we fall under all the site license contracts that are made through the state higher education office. Early last year a contract was put into place for ESRI products. I was able to purchase ArcView for $20 and any extensions for $10 each. We now run both programs, but MapInfo remains our primary workhorse. In this aspect, ESRI is able to recruit thousands of users, much in the same way Microsoft gets people to use Internet Explorer by including on every new computer with Windows. So, I guess that ESRI does simply understand the needs of the educational user and addresses them better.

Re: Anyone used MI 6.0 yet?
I've seen it, but not looked at it. As a VAR, I do have some strong opinions... 1.There is a cost to MapInfo just to stay current. Every time Windows comes out with a new version, there's work for MapInfo just to make it work correctly. So they need to come out with maintenance releases. 2.Maybe the features are ground shaking events. However, some of the seemingly minor ones have huge impacts on daily users. For example, in 5.5, the better editing algorithms are very significant, if you do drawing (we do). In 6.0, cutting off the ends of lines to create polygons is an exception feature(we just did a big project, and it would have saved us much more than $600 in time). 3.Extending the product line to have OCX Products (MapX), and web-based versions is HUGE. It actually has caused some pain for people who just use MapInfo Pro(like newer versions seem buggier - older ones were bullet proof when released). But it does open up many more ways to use mapping, and makes it potentially available to many more people. If you are the key user for your company, I bet lots of people ask you to make maps, and you tell them you can't - you don't have the time - you'd be overwhelmed if you made maps for everyone who wanted them What if they could make their own maps? 4.Enterprise-wide solutions - The web-based products and OCX give you the potential to make things simpler. Also, the web server based models make it possible to update the information in 1 place and give access to many. This reduces maintenance costs drastically. Plus, since MapInfo charges per seat for desktop licenses, the Web-based server stuff actually makes it CHEAPER if you have lots of people. Small companies don't, but small companies can have lots of customers! You can open up your maps to customers, sales execs, etc. with web mapping. Think outside the box! Best Wishes!

Jack Dangermond has personally contributed software, as much as we need or want, at no cost for this Mozambique effort, and has contributed invaluable logistic and other advice. I would just love to see MapInfo do anything societally conscious at all.

I am considering purchase of a GIS but would like info on value vs functionality. Can anyone suggest a GIS system that gives the best 'bang for your buck' for business applications such as demographic studies, network analysis and has decent spatial modeling capabilities? Map Design and layout capabilities are important also. I have used ArcInfo and ArcView but realise there are other systems such as MI, Esri Atlas GIS and Manifold. Unfortunately, as everyone knows many systems lack basic functionality required to complete a project and either you need to buy expensive 'add-on' modules or use a different program to complete the project. For example, what does the Esri Atlas GIS give that you cannot do with ArcView and a business add-on? Manifold claims it does way more than MI. Are there users experienced with several of these systems that could shed some light on the relative strengths and weaknesses of these systems? Is one of these systems head and shoulders above the rest?

Re: MI MAPBASIC: Putting inside strings, eg string = Press Push
Hi Michelle You may need to try using Chr$(34) instead of ".

However the string that defines the projection has "m" within it, ie the inverted comma's need to be part of the string. I've tried ""m"" but that doesn't work. I KNOW theirs a way of doing this, but how?

RE: MI zip
Yes, Abracadabra? No. There are several mouse clicks and a necessary table that shipped in V 5.5, that was not in my previous version 4.0. The table is Uszipbdy.tab and is shipped in the path Mapinfo\Data\Map_Data\Namerica\USA\USAMaps. With this table open, hit Control F (standard windows command for Find) or go the QueryFind menu. When the Find dialog box opens you have to select the Uszipbdy Table and enter the zip you want in the next box. This table is a region type which is cool cause it shows you the area the zip covers. The version 4.0 we had was a point file and you had no idea how big the zip area was. Hit OK and the next screen asks for the zip to find, if it's a zip in the table it will mark it with the selected symbol, if its not in the list you will be given close matches to choose from.

MI mail server trouble
No need to post that you are getting multiple copies of MI messages. The entire list is probably affected. It's happened before, probably a configuration problem on the mail server. I'm sure Bill will get it straightened out. If everybody sends an email to complain, we'll all get multiple copies of each one - so please sit tight and just delete the extra emails.

Re: MI What about topology?
Hi! MapLogix software has been designed for doing that. MapLogix works directly in MapInfo interface to detect and automatically correct topology errors. That is a topological map editing utility that you can use in order to realize many operations as remove duplicate nodes, clean polylines network and build region objects. MapLogix lets you define your own correction tolerances, according to your data. You can try the demo version, available at http://www.korem.com/MapLogix. Let me know if you have any further questions.

MI. Measuring distancce
I have a table with a of 200 stores (Table A) and their lat longs and another group of 1600 stores (Table B) with their lat longs. How in a sql statement would I find distance from all the stores in Table A to Table B. I can figure out how to do it from a specific store lat/long i.e. -71.2555, 42.15222 to the centroidX(obj) Centroidy(obj) "mi" but can not figure out how to get more than one store in a one step batch.
