MI-L MI Pro for MS SQL Server

Hi, Has anyone had any experience with MI Pro for SQL Server? It sounds like a great idea for getting around all the problems of sharing files, and a lot less expensive than going down the Oracle path. It's release seems to have been kept fairly low key, but if it is a solid product, it would ce

Re: MI-L Refreshing password-protected DBMS table

Lars, Thanks for the advice. I got it going using "Server Link Table", and it works well. I'm interested in the option you talk about to "use VB to connect directly to the source and provide the results to MapInfo". Since the datasource is already open in VB, this sounds like a better optio

Tedde, I've been running multi monitors for some years now (only recently with Mapinfo though), without any major problems - I think it's great and now find it really hard to work on only one. I've used one computer with two separate PCI video cards, another with a dual head AGP card (Matrox) a

Tedde, I am successfully using dual (LCD) monitors on my computer. I am using an ATI Radeon 8500 64MB Dual-Head card ($150 OEM). The only limitations I have are that both monitors must be running the same resolution and the monitor rotating software (for rotating LCDs) doesn't work. Also, the

Yes, there is an advanced tab and the autorotate is checked. The whole map frame, borders, etc is within the 30x30 page size and under layout->options it shows only 1 page. It prints only one sheet, but it spits out an extra 14" of blank paper after the map. So instead of the 30x30 sheet with ju

Dear Listers, With the new MapMarker Plus 8.0, the startup dialog that offers to add up to 3 columns (latitude, longitude, and georesult) is now missing, requiring manual addition of these columns. I'm wondering if I'm missing a checkbox, or if anyone out there has a work-around, or even knows w

MI-L Multi Monitors
