Hi, I think you have found one of the things that the SQL syntax doesn't allow. There is a few combinations that MapInfo doesn't allow. To get around them you can most do your SQL in 2 steps in stead of just one: 1. Select Sum(population) "SUM_POP", Sum(Area) "SUM_AREA" From ... Into SQL_PART1 2.

MI-L Ang. MI-L Thematic Bubble Map Question
Hi Josh! A common misconception, perhaps due to an unclear GUI of graduated symbols (bubble map?). The 'three grades' are only samples, and intermediate bubble sizes will be created as needed. You only get to select the symbol size for one value and have to play around with that to match your data set. Suggestion: Try 'advanced' and log(arithmic) if your range is very wide.

RE: MI-L Translating Shape files, which files are necessary
mia culpa, excuse my sleepy transgression! a bit too early here (before
6am) to be right on top of important things like esri file types!
of course you are correct, the workspace equivalent is the apr ("arcview
project") file in ArcView 3x. which, of course, does not translate into a
MapInfo workspace in any way other than brute force (that I have found
anyway.) another heads up, any colors applied in arcview via an avl
("arcview legend") file will have to be recreated in MapInfo as well
(either manually or i believe there is at least one tool out there that
attempts it automatically.)

Other correspondents are correct, the UT doesn't used them and one needs to

the .shp file translation will use the required additional files and create

a MapInfo workspace. you will have to know the original projection and set

RE: MI-L Translating Shape files, which files are necessary
Hello Cinda, Actually ESRI PRJ's are projection files. The equivalent of a MapInfo workspace is an APR in ArcView v3.x and MXD's for ArcGIS v8/9.x. Other correspondents are correct, the UT doesn't used them and one needs to specify the coordinate system/projection/datum manual for each SHP->TAB translation.

The sets contain the following ordinary ESRI files, does UT require _ALL_ of these files to convert to tabs? *.sbx *.prj projection file? *.sbn *.dbf data *.shp vector data? *.shx index data? I know the dbf and shp files are required and probably a couple more but all? Thanks, David Reid --- Outgoing mail is certified Virus Free. Checked by AVG anti-virus system (http://www.grisoft.com).
