MI MapInfo Pro 6.0 Demo
Peter, I downloaded a Beta copy of MapInfo v6.0 earlier this year from http://testdrive.mapinfo.com/mipro_60beta It was valid for 3 months I think - But evaluation period expired in July. I suspect it is no longer available (It would defeat the purpose if you could keep downloading it) Regards Peter Doyle TELSTRA NTG Global Connect OnAir Networks Queensland Geographical Information Systems & Mapping ' +61 7 34064304 Email: [EMAIL PROTECTED] -- 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 Missing Mapinfo DBMS DLL?
Greetings list, Can anybody shed some light on the following problem? I have just installed Mapinfo DBMS Support from the Mapinfo 5.5 installation disk (This was installed some time after the initial mapinfo 5.5 instalation) Ever since installing the Mapinfo DBMS Support files, I now get the error message:- "MapInfo Database driver failed to load C:\Program Files\MapInfo\Professional\MIDLOCI.DLL" I have searched the installation disk and my drives for this DLL but it dosn't seem to exist. Does anybody know where I might obtain this DLL from and where it should live on my system?

MI Overlapping Labels - One solution
Greetings fellow listers, For those of you that may be interested, below is a technique that I use to overcome overlapping labels... > Initially I had situation where I use a table of Place names daily. When > I labelled this layer, I would get a random set of places appearing each > time (depending on scale of the map etc.) > > Most of the time I would not get the major place names as these would be > overwritten by lesser place names. > > Instead of manually moving/rearranging and saving the labels each time, I > did the following > > 1) Added a Population column and a Weighting column to the source Places > table > > 2) Manually went through the table and added population and weighting > figures for each town in the table (time consuming initially) Population > stats were obtained from local Bureau of Statistics. Weighting values were > 1,2 & 3 representing Major, Main & Minor Place names respectively. (You > will have to decide your own population thresholds for the weighting > values) > > 3) Sort this table by population and save it. > > 4) Query the table from step 3 by each of the weighting values. Save each > of these queries as a new table. I called the 3 resulting tables Places1 representing the major towns, Places2 representing the main towns & Places3 representing the minor towns. > 5) Add these 3 new tables to your mapper and layer them in the following > order with respect to each other, Places1 - bottom, Places2 - middle & > Places3 - top. > > Now turn on the labels for each of these 3 tables and you will always get > the major places labelled before the main places and the main places label > before the minor places, no matter what zoom level or map scale, as > Mapinfo labels its layers from the bottom layer up. > > > Tips. > - > If you want the labels for these layer to take precedence over labels for > other layers, make sure they are the top 3 layers. > > If a place represents a significant area or town but the population > doesn't show this, give it a lower weighting in step 2 above > (alternatively give it a dummy population) > > If you set the label values for each layer as follows this gives a good > effect when printing Layouts. > > Places1 (Major) Font size =9 (Bold) > Places2(Main) Font size = 7(Bold) > Places3(Minor) Font size=7(Non Bold) > > Step 2 can be quite time consuming initially, but pays off 100 fold once > setup as you will always get the labels you want without any (if only very > minor) rearranging and without having to save label layers each time. > I hope this is of some, its not the ultimate solution, > Regards > > Peter Doyle > TELSTRA > NTG > Global Connect > OnAir Networks Queensland > Geographical Information Systems & Mapping > ' +61 7 34064304 > Email: [EMAIL PROTECTED] -- 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 Tab characters within a message window
Greetings Fellow Listers Is it possible to use Tab spaces when printing to the message window? I have tried Print Chr$(9), but it only inserts a single space. I have looked through the reference manuals etc. and can't find any reference to it. Any clues? or maybe its one of those things we have to live with?

MI Images on buttons
Greetings All, A while ago I saw a message on the List regarding putting images on Dialog Buttons.

MI v6 beta - printing problems
Greetings list, Has anybody downloaded the MapInfo Ver 6 beta??? When printing it seems to suffer from the same / similar problems as the ver 5.5 patch, in that the layout window will not recognise a landscape orientation when the printer is set to landscape (it defaults to portrait). Mybe MI incorporated some of the same code from there 5.5 patch. I realise this is only a beta release though. I completely removed MI v5.5 from my system before installing the version 6 beta. OS is NT4 On the plus side the 3D map generator is neat. Not as functional as Vertical mapper, but still neat.

MI Workspace regression utility
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. Someone may even like to build on the idea? If there is enough interest I will upload it to the Mapinfo-L site Regards Peter Doyle TELSTRA OnAir Networks Queensland Geographical Information Systems & Mapping ' +61 7 34064304 Email: [EMAIL PROTECTED] -- 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 v5.5 Patch (printing bug)
Greetings all, Has anybody come across the following problem after installing the MapInfo v5.5 patch (Patch55026.exe) I am running MI v5.5 under NT4, plotting to a HP650c plotter. I set page setup to print landscape. When opening a layout window it always comes up portrait. This has not been a problem till I installed the above patch. (the same thing has happened on two independent machines, both running) Apon reinstalling MI v5.5 without the patch, everything is back to normal. Maybe this is why MapInfo is not promoting the patch? Comments anybody?

Saving printer configuration in MI v5.5
Hello list, Please correct me if I'm wrong, I think I remember reading somewhere that MI v5.5 could save the Pinter settings in the workspace. (eg. selected network printer, orientation & paper size) so that next time the workspace is opened the page layout returns to the saved settings. We have just upgraded to MI v5.5 and this doesn't seem to be the case. I haven't been able to find any reference to this in the User guide or online documentation. Was I dreaming or can someone shed some light on the matter.
