RE: StPro 8.5 WA "EATON DR DR" should probably be "EATON DR". The same record has "Recreation Dr" in the "label" field which differs from the "Street" field. Inspection in a map window seems to indicate that "Recreation Dr" may be correct. "Rolland Rd Neds Corner Rd" may need

Hello Jacques, I found this one curious so quickly write the MB program below. It seems to work fine on Pro v4.5, v6.0 and v7.0. Sorry, don't have v6.5 installed. I presume the variable used for argument 2 to the Mid$() function is a smallint or integer? Regards, Warren Vick Europa Technologies L

RE: MI-L Region thinning.

2003-11-20 Thread Warren Vick, Europa Technologies Ltd.
Hello Tony, The MapInfo environment is naturally disadvantaged when it comes to node thinning as there is no built-in support for topology. Without it, tools can often be thrown by the simplest of topological differences between two adjoining regions (e.g. an extra node). I ended up writing my own

Hi, I did exactly this a few days ago: 2 select queries got stored along with the WOR file. It works here and the second query selects from the first one, so it should be possible. There may however be exceptions. Try to edit the WOR file manually and add the second query - it might help. My wor

Hello Raffael, First, simply create your 1km buffer around your bridge point. The next step depends on whether you want to do the job manually with a single case or process a batch. Let's assume it's a single manual case for the minute. Start drawing a polygon which goes through your new buffer fo

The length of a string variable into which I read the record of a file is of 32766. I use the mid$() function to extract bits and pieces. When the start parameter (second argument) reaches 29696, there is an error message "Overflow Mid$; argument 2 has invalid type". As the same formula has worked

Hello Keith, There's no easy way I'm afraid but it possible to compute which polygons of a region form holes ("-ve") and which are actual ("+ve"). There is also a work-around which is the option I have chosen for most data development projects. The problem with identifying holes is that MapInfo r

Something is wrong with one of your polygons in the table. 7.0 gave me this error all the time. 6.5 would just continue the process and you could have a object or two disappear. MapInfo knows about this problem. I have not encountered it yet in 7.5 since I have not had 7.5 that long. I have a

Hi Mike; I have run into this as well. It appears that MI 7.5 is now taking the very first row's value and making that the default Value name. I don't think you're doing anything wrong here. I have reported this issue to MI and am hoping they'll either release a patch for this, or change it
