I am in too good a christmas mood to indulge in a lengthy answer, but let me ask you, Steven, how much time you have spent 'facilitating the distribution of data' by using ProViewer? All they had needed to do was to leave in the layer control (minus the 'editable' icon). That had made a world of difference.

Re: MI Re: Intelligent Use of ProViewer
Then again, you wouldn't expect a Word-VIEWER to do spell-checking, grammar-checking, new tables etc. for you, would you (what I'm really saying is: Works as designed?). ;-) Peter Peter Ketting GIS Consultant -Oprindelig meddelelse- Fra: Dan Munson [SMTP:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sendt:10. december 1999 23:54 Til: Mats Elfström; [EMAIL PROTECTED] Emne: MI Re: Intelligent Use of ProViewer Matts, As you I can probably guess, Proviewer is probably MapInfo with a couple of extra statements (MapBasic).
