RE: [MI-L] MapBasic API Call for XML
Well, if you can get MB to interact with .NET then I would use .NET because it makes read/write of XML like falling off a log (v1.1 or v2.0 are both very capable). XML is many things though - schema is all-important.

RE: SUMMARY: [MI-L] Parsing Problem
My suggestion would be to search within the strings using a series of regular expressions (regex). It's brute force, but you can develop easily understood code (best to get a regex tester - several of them, esp for .NET) with a series of switch or case statements. As you recognize more of the system, hone your regex so that it does it better.

In short, I have a table with a column that contains coded descriptions of areas defined relative to the PLSS grid. The descriptions have definite patterns to them, and it's easy for me to translate them individually, but there are thousands of records and the patterns are different depending on which county they occurr in, so it's been tantalizingly difficult to write a program to convert these all to a common format.

[MI-L] Problem with Manual Geocoding
Hi, Can anyone suggest why today I cannot manually geocode some records in a table using the same procedure that I have always used successfully? As per the instructions in the MapInfo User Guide I have open my editable table in the map and browser window. I select the appropriate record in the browser window, select the symbol tool, select the map window and click to insert the map object. Rather than connecting the attributes with the new point on the map, this creates a new record which is inserted at the bottom of the browser window. I have tried this is version 6.5 and 7.8 with the same result What am I doing wrong? Thanks in advance for any help.

Ang. [MI-L] Problem with Manual Geocoding
Hi Sarah! I did a quick test in MapInfo v8.0 and can confirm that it works as expected, that is I can manually assign symbols or even lines and regions to a selected item in a browser table, but only if it does not have a map object before. In order to perform the test, I used a point table where I erased a number of map objects. If a selected item has already got a map object, the result is just as you describe, a new item is created in the table. Can it be that you have 0,0 coordinates for the items you want to geocode? Zoom out to the entire layer and look for a pile of symbols in the origin point.

RE: [MI-L] calculating distances
IN MI Pro ver 8 there is a nifty tool in the tools menu called 'Distance Calculator'. If you are on an earlier version you can do it with the Distance function in SQL select but it is a bit cumbersome...you need a common ID in both tables for joining, then can put the following in your SQL selct columns up top: Select table1.id, table2.id, Distance(table1.Lon, table1.Lat, Table2.Lon, table2.Lat, mi) Distance (You can also use centroid X and X instead of Lon/Lat fields) Will Mitchell Mitchell Geographics, Inc. 496 Congress St. Portland, ME 04101 P 207.879.7769 F 207.221.5861 (new) www.mitchellgeo.com -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Andrew Tracey Sent: Wednesday, February 01, 2006 4:07 AM To: MapInfo-L@lists.directionsmag.com Subject: [MI-L] calculating distances Hi all, I have 2 tables, one of them has one point on it (table 1), and the other has approximately 500 points (table 2).

[MI-L] Problems Fixed on MapInfo-L
Yesterday, Directions Magazine shut down their mail servers briefly to clear a large mail backlog which was the most likely cause of the problems we've been having on MapInfo-L. Now that they've restarted the servers, it looks like things are ticking along nicely. But to make sure we've found the culprit, please keep a watch on messages you send and if it takes a couple of hours to distribute them to the list or if they never get distributed at all, but they DO appear in the archives, please let me know. - Bill Thoen ___ MapInfo-L mailing list MapInfo-L@lists.directionsmag.com http://www.directionsmag.com/mailman/listinfo/mapinfo-l

[MI-L] Text labels missing from .pdf output / MI in MSAccess Reports
Hi again Folks, I have a map which shows street labels in the map window and the layout window, but when I print to .pdf, the labels are missing! I'm using Adobe Acrobat 5.0 and I've never had this problem before. I did have Acrobat Reader 7.0 installed (to another directory) for a couple of weeks but recently removed it after having some other trouble (opening .pdfs from web). Has anyone else experienced this? I'm also considering embedding a map into an MS Access report - I haven't yet tried this but while I'm on the list I thought I'd ask if anyone else has experience with this. Specifically I want to be able to have a couple of tables mapped containing a query from Access which must be refreshed each time the map is opened. Do you require MI Pro on the machine opening and refreshing the query for it to refresh the map? I suspect so, but will experiment to find out if no-one can tell me. Thanks for your time.

[MI-L] MapInfo vs AutoCAD
Every now and then, the topic of MapInfo vs ArcInfo comes up on this list. But has there been any discussion of MapInfo vs AutoCAD? I bring this up because, over the last few years, CAD software has been slowly gaining functionality that has usually been regarded as GIS. Sometimes this is new functionality in the basic software, sometimes it is a seperate module, eg AutoCAD Map. How much GIS functionality does a CAD package have to acquire before it can be considered a competitor for GIS software like MapInfo? nick Opinions contained in this e-mail do not necessarily reflect the opinions of the Queensland Department of Main Roads, Queensland Transport or Maritime Safety Queensland, or endorsed organisations utilising the same infrastructure.
