MI HELP!

2000-03-13 Thread Greg Lindner

Hello!

I'm getting an error in the geoset manager that says "Found (A string
constant) while searching for (A numeric constant)."  Does anyone know what
this means?  I was updating zoom levels for a few layers on my .gst file
and now I'm stuck with this error.  PLEASE HELP ME!!!  ;o)

Thanks,

Greg

MI Query problem

2000-01-06 Thread Greg Lindner




I have a table with zipcodes and distances for each of 40 branches.  I can
get the closest branch for each zip but I need to retrieve the closest two
branches for each zipcode.  I'm using 'finding the closest point' on p.23
in
Advanced Mapinfo Workbook.  Any suggestions?  Thanks!

MI E00 Translation/Projection Troubles

1999-11-17 Thread Greg Lindner




Hello Group!

I have a question in regard to a E00 file I downloaded off of the GIS Depot
web site.  I translated the data with MapInfo's ARC=>MAPINFO mbx tool with
no problems, except that I can't get the projection I want.  I have a map
of Alaska, and I want to add a nice boundary file of Russia.  The free
boundary that comes with MapInfo is terrible (my scale is large), but the
one from GIS Depot is very nice.  I just can't seem to get it into my map!
I've tried to translate the data with a LAT/LONG projection, but I doesn't
work.  I've also tried to save the file as a different name & a different
projection, but the same problems.  It only seems to work with a Non-Earth
projection.  Any suggestions???

Thanks!

Greg

Re: MI MapInfo to pdf

1999-09-22 Thread Greg Lindner




Hello Declan.

I had problems with Adobe Acrobat 3.0, but since upgrading to 4.0, I've had
no problems at all.  The quality is nearly identical.

Mappers,

Anyone with positive comments about printing layouts (map windows) to pdf
files using Acrobat. Do the pdf files look pretty true to the originals?
Does printed output of the pdf file compare well with printing direct from
MapInfo? I've yet to try it but it seems that combining pdf files might be
a good way to get map illustrations into reports with reasonable quality
(better than saving windows as files) if the map pdfs retain printer
quality.

Declan

MI Label question

1999-09-15 Thread Greg Lindner




Hello list -

I have a question in regard to labels.  I'm using USGS quad tables, and am
trying to angle
the labels @ a 45 degrees ... not just a few labels, but thousands.  I
tried using the
autolabel function, placing the labels on the cosmetic layer as objects,
then rotating the
labels with a .mbx for the MapInfo-L site.  This did not produce acceptable
results  the
text was too large & only grids in the map window were labeled.

Is there a way to change the label orientation in MapBasic, rather than
selecting the label
one at a time?

Thanks so much!

Greg

MI Projection woes

1999-08-23 Thread Greg Lindner

Hello list!

I'm having a problem with radii (circles) and projections.  Let me briefly
explain so that I can hopefully get some advise!

I am creating radii around branches (stores) that meet a specified sales
threshold.  The sales data is by Zip code geography.

The radii were originally created in a Lat/Long projection.  The map is
of the lower 48 states.  So, I changed the projection to equal-area.  Now
the
radii are distorted.  They still appear round, but have changed in size and
are covering area's that were not covered in the previous projection.

Is there a way to keep the radii from not being altered?

Greg

Re: MI 5.5 and Excel 97

1999-07-22 Thread Greg Lindner




John,

It has been my experience that this is "normal" for MapInfo.  Why 16,385?
The old Excel (prior to Excel 97)  was limited to 16,385 records.  My guess
is that MapInfo has not adjusted to Excel 97 limits (65,536 records).  Just
a guess though.  It's not your machine.

In opening a large Excel file (27,620 records, and 29,216 records) for
geocoding, I notice the browser will only show exactly 16,385 records for
each.  When I open the same file as a dbf file, the browser shows all the
records.  This normal or just my machine?
