Hello Mappets,
I've got a problem with workspaces and their lack
of ODBC connections. If i open an ODBC table the dialog box prompts me to save
the table. I select a name and save. Then i save the workspace. If i then
examine the workspace using notepad, i notice that the table opened by the
workspace is the nominated saved table and not a refreshed version from the ODBC
database. Is there some way how i can make a workspace bring across a refreshed
version of the ODBC table and then overwrite the nominated saved
table.
As a sideline for your thoughts, i do have visual
basic and i'm contemplating having a VB frontend to a MI application that calls
an Access database. Has anyone had experience of this? Is it possible to use VB
to grab tables and whack them into the mapinfo application. It sounds a chuggy
way of getting 'live' ODBC connections and i'm hoping for a better
solution.
regards,
Andy Bailey.
