Well here is a midnight summary of GISized PDA happenings. Thanks to the
several who scratched their heads and added thoughts on the pending
Map'nHand PDA offering from MapInfo and wireless PDA GIS in general.
Mainly its a very HOT topic, has more potential processors than the PC
revolution, and
Hi
I've been trying to work out how the MapInfo 'Layer Control' dialog box
would be created in MapBasic. It is quite obviously a MultiListBox with
CheckBoxes within it. This is the exact functionality I need. I have
created my own dialog with identical functionality (customised to my
application)
I have seen a product called Label-EZ which is used to place labels in
MapInfo (and other GIS's) a lot more cleverly than MapInfo can. It can also
handle curved labels, leadering, contour labelling etc. It is also very
expensive. Are there any other label placement/enhancement products in use
out
If any of you got a strange e-mail regarding MapInfo from me, please ignore
it.

I used to experience this quite a bit when using v4.0 but upon finding a
stray file to which I was "snapping to" was of a different projection than
that which I was editing.

You should check out Vancouver, Canada's, Safe Software, and their
Translators: FME Professional Suite, or FME Professional ESRI Suite. It's
worth the money considering the power to translate geospatial information.
Both MapInfo and ESRI use a subset of FME for their products translators.

Dear all,
I recently discovered the web site for "Manifold GIS"
http://www.manifold.net/index.html.
Is it as good as they say?
Has anyone out there had experience using both MI and Manifold, how do they
compare?

Before you open an Excel file in MI, verify that the cells that the
dates are in are not set-up as Date 04-Mar-97. Either set the cells
to read as General or Date 3/4/97. I ran a quick test using all 3
formats and only the cell set-up as Date 04-Mar-97 showed up as
unrecognizable date field.

MI puts interactive only after the tables that are not in the same directory
as the wor when it is created. That creates an inequality in the treatment
of the tables open by a wor. If it does not find the table where it should

Hello All,
Could anyone explain to me the logic behind the usage of the

Good day List-
I have had a request to look into something that may not be MapInfo specific
but I thought the collective knowledge base here may have an idea or two.
I'm looking at a way to have two (or more) users simultaneously look at a
network file and mark edits on it in real time, kind of li
Folks,
Bill's idea works well. Another way to reduce pixilation (is that
the proper word?) is to increase the size of the output image. The default
is the size of the map window or layout page size. If it is 8.5 x 11 change
it to 17 x 22. This will get you a much larger files size but
I'm not aware of a more direct route (but that doesn't mean to say there
isn't one!), but you can use the SDF COM Toolkit to manipulate (ie.
read) your SDF's. If another lister can provide you with the necessary
information to create TABs etc..
[The mapguide SDF loader can also create SDLs -
I recommend using the "Drag Map Window" tool to put maps into MS Office
products. That's what it's there for, and it works fairly well.

I have a Mapinfo layer containing a larger number of polygons. Each polygon
has a field called ID which currently contains the value 0. I want to
automatically number these polygons by filling in the ID field with the
values 1, 2, 3 etc. Is there an easy way to do this?
