Re: MI Business Objects
Greetings, Flavio and List. Here at Digi-Tek we have developed a prototype interface between Business Objects and MapInfo. Essentially - a Business Objects Report is converted to a MI table where it is joined with the relevant map layer. This is done by hitting a new control on the Business Objects Report screen. The only condition - the first field must have the unique ID in it (character). The map appears as a child window to Business Objects. The other way works, too. Select a bunch of objects on the map, return to Business Objects, and those objects are filtered into a new Report. This was prepared for the benefit of several Israeli customers, and according to their comments the interface may be modified. But in principle it is very straightforward. Once the layer is in MapInfo, all of MI Pro functionality is available. More details on request.

MI Update of gridmaker GridWinE
Greetings, List. My version of the utility GridWinE (for creating grids on Earth maps), that I posted on DirectionsMag, was faulty. This was pointed out to me by Guy Matters in Australia - thanks, Guy. In my infinite ignorance I had neglected to take into account the existence of a hemisphere South of the equator. The program was corrected, my apologies attached, the new version tested and confirmed in Australia, and now updated on DirectionsMag. Enjoy.

MI New utility on Directionsmag - GridWinE
Greetings, List. GridWinE creates a grid of squares between a lower left pointing and an upper right pointing. The size of the square is user- specified. GridWinE works on Earth maps exactly like GridWin works on NonEarth maps. Source code included. Comments always welcome.

MI Arrange a meeting
Greetings, List. I am attempting to set up meetings in the USA for a customer. Mr. Shai Kna'ani, the Director of the Division for School Planning and Zoning in the Israeli Ministry of Education, will be visiting the USA in the last week of September. His division are intensive MapInfo users. He would like to meet with colleagues in the area of school planning and zoning and discuss common issues.

MI vs MapGuide
Greetings, List. Can anyone provide a comparison between the MapInfo web offerings (MapXtreme NT, MapXtreme Java) and AutoDesk's MapGuide? Particularly - why would a potential MapGuide customer prefer MapInfo (or would s/he)? I will summarize and post whatever responses I get. TIA to all responders.

MI Business Objects Interface
Greetings, List. A few months ago I asked the list if anyone had any information on the subject. Here is the summary of the results: Nothing. So we developed it here at Digi-Tek. Nothing fancy, and not yet packaged for distribution (depends on the interest displayed by potential users) - but it works. Essentially - a BO Report is converted to a MI table where it is joined with the relevant map layer. This is done by hitting a new control on the BO Report screen. The only condition - the first field must have the unique ID in it (character). The other way works, too. Select a bunch of objects on the map, return to BO, and those objects are filtered into a new Report. This was prepared for the benefit of several Israeli customers, and according to their comments the interface may be modified. But in principle it is very straightforward. Once the layer is in MapInfo, all of MI Pro functionality is available. More details on request. I'm announcing this now to find out if there's any interest in this topic today. If not, I'll refrain from posting any future developments on BO interfacing.

MI Tweaking the registry
Greetings, Listers. Andy Dressel replied to a query as follows: You can turn off the border created during Save Window As with a registry setting: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\MapInfo\MapInfo\Common\ExportBorder 0 indicates no border; non-zero indicates that a border should be exported. This only works for the Map Window and the Cartographic Legend windows. You need to restart MapInfo Pro for a change to this registry setting to take effect. From time to time we see that a solution to a problem lies in "tweaking" the registry. Is the following documented anywhere? A. The complete reference - a list of keys, the possible values in them, and what each value signifies. B. The "cookbook" - solutions of the form "if you want to do X, go to the registry and change Y" (like Andy's solution above). If this documentation does not exist perhaps someone could undertake to do so. I'm sure I won't be the only one to welcome it.

MI Files on Most Recently Used-list
Hello Andreas, You have an entry in your Menu Definition (under File) which causes the MRU files to display - ($ The regular MapInfo Menu has the following line in it: "($", '* MRU list; appears as separator, if filenames follow. I suppose that if you remove this entry you will no longer be bothered with any MRU files. As for default workspaces - under Options - Preferences - Restart you can control whether or not MapInfo saves and/or loads default workspaces. I don't think you need this for MapBasic - workspaces will not save or load unless you specifically use code to do so. 1.) My MB application opens a workspace, which causes MapInfo to include the workspace file on the Most Recently Used (MRU) list in the File menu. Additionally, this filename is used as the default workspace filename the next time the user wants to save a workspace. Is there a way to suppress this, as I don't want the user to see the filename or overwrite this file? (I basically don't want the user to take notice of this file.) Good luck.

MI Responses to Mysterious coordinate system
Greetings, List. I would like to thank Ole Gregor, Richard Herrington and Cliff Mugnier for their detailed explanations to my question. In my judgment the combined answers would be too long to post on the list - but if anyone else is interested I'd be glad to email these responses directly. Keep the Y2K bug at bay, and a Happy New Millenium to all. (Uhh - has anyone a definitive answer to the question - does the new millennium begin on 1.1.2000 or 1.1.2001?).

MI Mysterious coordinate system
Season's Greetings, List. Here in Israel the use of WGS 84, Zone 36 Northern Hemisphere, is pretty common. Digitized maps (from paper maps) show a high level of accuracy compared to ground surveying data in this projection. However, GPS (differential) readings are off by a few dozen meters. But... when using a projection called UTM ED 50 the GPS readings are far more accurate. Can anyone explain to me what's happening? And what is UTM ED 50 anyway? TIA to all responders.

Re: MI Palestinian/Israelian projection system
Hello Jean-Paul, Chances are that the following will work. CoordSys Earth Projection 8,33,"km",35.2120805,31.7340969,1.0, 170.251555,126.867909 Let me know if there are any problems. Hello everybody, I have coordinates of Palestinian places in "Old British Palestinian Coordinate System (1922)". This system also covered Jordan. These coordinates seem to be rather similar to the ones of recent Israelian Grid. Does anybody know the "Mapinfo coordsys clause" for these projections systems?

MI Generic VB MapX-database SQL interface
Greetings, List. I hope that the rather cumbersome title will be clear after reading on. Using MapX we need to produce the following: for a pre-determined table in a database present a dialog to the user allowing him to select any field, with any operator, and use And and Or for combining up to N fields (N usually = 3 or 4). Perhaps something like the MI Pro SQL query dialog (simplified). Or the ODBC Open Step 3 panel. It seems to me that this could easily be generic code in VB. Input would be the table name, and output would be the SQL string. Before we sink our teeth into this, I was wondering if anyone had already "invented this wheel." And was prepared to share it, of course. TIA to all responders.

MI More DTMs and Raster maps
Greetings, List. I was somewhat surprised that I got NO response to my request last week for maps of Singapore. I suppose that I'm kind of relying on the list to have answers for practically everything. Well, maybe my expectations will still be fulfilled - or maybe I'm asking for something really impossible. So I'll repeat my request here, and add onto it. Can anyone point me to a source of maps of Singapore: raster and DTM only. MapInfo compatiblity and prices are also requested. And in the same vein, I am also looking for the same kind of maps for parts of Africa: Somalia, Sudan, Ethiopia and Kenya. TIA to all responders.

Greetings, List. Tech Support informs me that when translating ESRI E00 files to MapInfo: "we try to keep the same styles but this may not be possible since ESRI and MapInfo define styles differently.
