[MI-L] DBMS problems; making tables mappable.
Hi All, I'm having trouble mapping data from an Access 2000 database in MapInfo version 8. I havecreated the MapCatalogue for the DBMS connection, using the Microsoft Access .mdb machine data source and MapInfo tells me that the Catalogue item has been created successfully. Then, using the Make DBMS Table Mappabletool, I've selected the table from Access that I would like to create points from and have told MapInfo which columns I would like to use forX andY coordinates. The columns in the Access table are set up as number; double, yet MapInfo tells me that the column 'X Coord' doesn't exist in the Access table and therefore ends the process of making the table mappable. I don't know why this happens; I've tried (in MS Access) changing theX Coord column to integer and long integer and get the same errors. The table isn't linked or anything; it was imported from an Excel spread sheet, but is now independent from it. I would be grateful for any advice on this.

[MI-L] Line style problem
All, I am having trouble with a line style I am applying to the boundaries of polygons. The line style is the one where you can have small lines pointing off the main polygon boundary. I am applying the polygon styles through a thematic. The problem I am having is that for most of the polygons, the lines point into the centre of the polygon. But for a few, they point out of the polygon. Does anyone have any idea why it does this and how it can be fixed?

RE: [MI-L] DBMS problems; making tables mappable.
Hi, Is the name of the column "X Coord" or "X_Coord" or "XCoord" ? If the first is the name of you column, I will suggest that you rename it, so that the space is removed Peter Horsbøll Møller GIS Developer, MTM Geographical Information IT COWI A/S Odensevej 95 DK-5260 Odense S.

Re: [MI-L] Line style problem
This can happen if some of the polygons are drawn clockwise and some anticlockwise. As far as I know, you'd need to convert the polygons to polylines, then reverse their direction.

[MI-L] Problem with parameters in Sub
Hi,
I'm having some difficulty passing parameters in a Sub procedure.
The MapBasic help gives the following as a example of using a sub procedure. It includes a value "2" as a parameter.
Declare Sub Cube(ByVal original As Float,cubed As Float)
.
.
Call Cube( 2, result)
I've adapted this to pass some text values for atable name and some column titles:
Declare Sub Table_to_Array( byval sTabname as string, sCol_1 as string, sCol_2 as string, sType as string)
.
.
Call Table_to_Array("T_Usrn", "street_text", "street_reference_number", "Streets")
The outcome is an error on compilation stating:
Found [street_text] while searching for [An identifier]
Where am I going wrong?
Thanks
Ian

SV: [MI-L] Problem with parameters in Sub
Title: Meddelelse
Hi Ian,
You have to write ByVal before each variable
/parameter definition in order to pass text strings to the sub.
Furthermore you have the possibility to
write several parameters of the same type before declaring the variable type
i.e.:
Declare Sub Table_to_Array( byval sTabname,
byval sCol_1, byval sCol_2, byval sType as string)

Re: [MI-L] Problem with parameters in Sub
When you pass a constant, you have to use the ByVal declaration. So your subroutine must be declared as: Declare Sub Table_to_Array( byval sTabname as string, ByVal sCol_1 as string, ByVal sCol_2 as string, ByVal sType as string) On Wed, Jul 19, 2006 at 12:28:08PM +0100, Ian Robertson wrote: Hi, I'm having some difficulty passing parameters in a Sub procedure.

[MI-L] About Geodatabase
Hi again, I need to select entities prior to load them from a larg table. When those objects are just alfanumerics I use a DBMS connection, so appears a dialog where i can customize the filter conditions. But when those objects are features (shapes and lines, etc), I don't know how to filter them before to load them. * I've been told to investigate about Geodatabases. Which and how can I use? * I've gotten an client Oracle driver for MIpr; is it useful for me? * There is an Informix driver within the MapInfo original installation CD; is this something usefull for my purposes?

[MI-L] RE: Wrong Symbols
Hi, This may be an easy fix but we are having trouble opening up symbols in our maps. The symbols are suppose to be stars but they show up on mine as a triangle and another computer they show up as a circle. We're using the Mapinfo 3.0 compatible symbols. Any ideas?
