RE: MI Why does this select fail...
sometimes you have to do force the returned variable, something like select * from tableA where int(ObjectInfo(obj,OBJ_INFO_TYPE)) = OBJ_TYPE_PLINE into tableB seems to happen a lot where the returned variable type is a small integer.

Re: MI Viewer Softwares
Hi Peter, Check outwww.mapinfo.com/software/index.html There is a MapInfo Proviewer link under Desktop products.It's free. It works well as long as you open a workspace, not just a map or table.

Re: MI Why does this select fail...
I had a similar problem. I may have taken the long way round, but I ended up fetching each object then testing it using the obj_info_type & then executing any changes if required: Dim obj_type as smallint count = tableinfo(table,TAB_INFO_NROWS) for i = 1 to count Fetch i from table obj_type = objectinfo(table.obj,OBJ_INFO_TYPE) If obj_type = PLINE Then execute changes, or store in a temp table End If Next Ta, Michelle. - Original Message - From: Scott Fagg To: Sent: Monday, May 29, 2000 4:26 PM Subject: MI Why does this select fail... select * from TableA where ObjectInfo(obj , OBJ_INFO_TYPE) = OBJ_TYPE_PLINE into TableBfails with : "Datatype mismatch in expression"According the the mapbasic references, ObjectInfo returns an SmallInt when called with OBJ_INFO_TYPE.I'm trying to select all of the objects of type PLINE from a table into another table.--To unsubscribe from this list, send e-mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] and put"unsubscribe MAPINFO-L" in the message body, or contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
MI MapInfo Graphics
Hello everyone, I'm trying to save a MI layout as a clear, quality graphic which can be imported into a MS word document. I have tried saving the MI layout in various formats (jpeg, png, bmp, tiff, and gif) then importing straight into Word. Each format loses clarity and ends up very grainy and a different colour as to MI. I've also tried using PaintShop to sharpen the tiff image, then compressed it to a smaller file size, but still end up with the same grainy results. I just can't seem to get the map graphic to retain quality once taken out of MI. Can anyone help? thank you!

MI text length
Good morning, evening, and night to all. Has anyone come across a text constraint relating to the number of characters and spaces that can be inputted into a text window. I have had a user who complained when he tried to type in a small essay into a layout window. After he had typed out his essay and chose OK, only 250 approx characters and spaces total were visible and printable. I myself, out of curiosity, tried the same process in a map window and had the same result. The MapInfo version we are currently using is 5.5. My questions are: * is there a reason for this? * are is there any fixes? * are we doing the process incorrectly? * and is it a bug? Any help and discussion on this topic would be very helpful Thanks heaps Ethan -- To unsubscribe from this list, send e-mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] and put "unsubscribe MAPINFO-L" in the message body, or contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]

MI Packing tables question
Hello, The table consists of polygons with attributes. When I was working with these tables, I notice some greyed out records. I thought I would pack the table. I passed along these tables to another user, the owner. Now he claims that the packing 'messed-up' the polygons and their attributes. Has anyone experienced this before?

MI: MS Access 2000 and ODBC Problem
Hi everyone! I have an Access Database that resides on a network drive. I follow the following steps: 1) I create an ODBC connection for this database 2) I create a MapInfo Map Catalog for the database 3) I ATTEMPT to make the remote table mappable in MapInfo - When I try to do this - I get the message "There are no non-mappable tables for this datasource" - When I click the OK button, the 'Select ODBC Table wizard' comes up - indicating the right ODBC database connection - but where all the tables should appear in the select table area - it is BLANK - no tables appear. Now the kicker. If I copy this same database onto my local hard drive, set up an ODBC connection to it there - it works fine. No problems. I can also use the same ODBC connection to access the network database using Excel. The Access database in Access 2000. If I save the database as an older version of Access - it works. I don't use MapInfo a lot, so I don't know if I am missing something very obvious. Can anyone assist? Is there a compatibility problem with Access 2000. I am using MI Pro 5.0 ...
