I know this is a really elementary question, but being a mere ecologist I
need to once again call upon the collective wisdom of the MI-L.

I have a data base of our city's street tree inventory.  It consists of
tabular data of each tree's characteristics and a hard copy aerial photo
showing the location of each tree.  The tabular data does not include a
street address or any spatial references.

I have opened the Excel data base in MI and converted it to a MI table.
What I want to do is add points for each tree to a scanned aerial photo in
MI and link that point to the corresponding tree in the data base.  The
ultimate goal is for untrained users to use the Info Tool to click on a tree
depicted on the aerial photo and bring up the tabular data.

I know it must be easy, but so far I haven't figured out how to link the
tabular data base with the points on the aerial photo.

Any info is appreciated.  Thanks in advance.

make a window with the map and a window with the table.
make it so you can see all of both of the windows at the same time, because
you won't want to switch back and forth.
click on the symbol tool

click on the table to select the record you want to add to the map
hold down the control (ctrl) key on the keyboard
click on the map where the record is to be placed.

if you keep the control key down, you can just go back and forth between the
two windows and add your points to the map one after the other.
