RE: MI-L Open Access tables in MI but still allow editing in Access?

2004-08-23 Thread Peter Horsbøll Møller
If you open the Access table using ODBC instead of DAO you will be able to edit the table from both MapInfo and Access at the same time. ODBC even gives you some troubleshooting for handling conflicts, when a record has been altered from both MapInfo and Access. Peter Horsbøll Møller GIS

MI-L ArcWeb Services and MapInfo

2004-08-23 Thread Karl K
As ESRI offers access to their datasets via the web, I wonder if MapInfo may do this too as MI Corp has lots of spatial data to offer? Has anyone tried the ArcWeb Services BTW? I see the price is US$1,250 for 100,000 credits. Does anyone know how much data you can access for a block of

I don't think it's necessarily the graphics card by itself, but how well Windoze, Mapinfo and Graphics card play together, and how well Windoze handles the hardware excelleration of the card. Switching screens back and forth (I know that's common) creates intense screen re-draws or refreshes. And

Well, Apparently this is a common problem, which is unfortunate for those of us who handle a lot of layout work. I have had similar problems using ArcMap. I've had a strange problem with a graphics card and Mapinfo. I use an nvidia ti4200 in my machine at the office. It has a desktop features
