This is not a MapInfo Pro bug. The grid / raster files are set up the same
way as other raster images. Inside the TAB file (a simple text file) is the
full filename including drive letter and path. Simply edit the TAB files for

Does any one know how to add and show a scale bar to a layout window in a title block
separate to the map which scale is desired to represent?
I haven't yet been able to separate the scale bar from the map, as it seems scale bars

I think you will probably find that MapInfo is really going to leave the
multi-user stuff to other software and then just use and ODBC or OCI link to
that system. The Oracle 8i Spatial and MapInfo Spatial Extender Cartridge
(ie. SpatialWare) easily handles the multi-user stuff. Even an ODB

Hi,
to the best of my understanding, you need to edit tab file manually, and
change the path to the raster file in it (line starting with File). In case
