RE: MI annoying feature of Windows 2K Pro?
Let's try this again. Ole, In version 5.5 of MI Pro, MapInfo added functionality that permitted third party software such as Vertical Mapper to run in more than the first instance.

RE: MI annoying feature of Windows 2K Pro?
Me too! Having a new instance of Mapinfo attempt to load results in the program failing if you are using any of a number of third party Mapinfo add-ins that aren't happy with multiple instances of some Win-32's.

Fw: MI annoying feature of Windows 2K Pro?
Mappers: Steve Wallace suggested I turn off DDE under Tool | Folder Options | File Options.. this worked perfectly. I tried retaining the original entry (as an option in the context menu) but Win2K Pro seems to have trouble setting the default association.. oh well. Anyway, just turning off DDE handles it.
