There is no better summary then Eric's information. We tried to avoid to double the amount of files we use and to change over 150 wor's. I could not convince my colleague yesterday but by now He is adopting all his little programs... Thanks again to all who responded. Christine

MI-L Alternative to MapXtreme

Dear List I'm looking for recommendations for replacements to MapXtreme. I would like to create a web mapping application but the MapInfo licensing is prohibitive. Ideally, any alternative will be able to produce thematics and be able to bind to an external database. I'm looking into the open

Hi Mats, This information is stored in the .MAP file header. Look here: H13C 4 1 Number of Symbol elements H140 4 1 Number of Line elements H144 4 1 Number of Region elements H148 4 1 Number of Text elements These are hexadecimals

RE: MI-L Ang. MI-L Drawing Order

Great ! Streange that has never been accessible from within MapBasic. I know that it was kind of accessible using MapX where you could be told which objecttype was dominant. Uffe, do you have an example of how to access these information from MapBasic ? I guess it's pretty simeple if you have

SV: MI-L Alternative to MapXtreme

Hi Stuart - Keep looking at MapServer ;-) It's possible to make thematic maps in mapserver (It's actually the preferred method to make maps in MapServer). If you are using Windows as your platform, then have a look at MS4W from www.mapttools.org . It a preconfigured MapServer for Windows, that

Hi Peter, Here is an example I just made: dim numPoints as integer dim numLines as integer dim numRegions as integer open file link.map for binary access read as #1 get #1,317,numPoints get #1,321,numLines get #1,325,numRegions close file #1 print numPoints print numLines print numRegions I

MapInfo .MAP files contain metadata that actually keeps a counts of lines (2 point, polyline and arc), regions (regions, rects, ellipses), points (and multipoints) and text. This metadata does not exist for server tables unfortunately. This metadata in addition to the overall MBR of the data is

MI-L Shapefile to MI TAB conversion : Error if more than 16 fields

Hi, When I use Universal Translator to convert a shapefile to a MapInfo TAB I receive an error if there's more than 16 fields (not counting the shape field). After removing superfluous fields (so we have 16 fields or less) it works perfectly. Here is the error returned in the log file: MapInfo

RE: MI-L Shapefile to MI TAB conversion : Error if more than 16 fields

I heard that the incoming version of mapinfo will support more then 256 characters fields. That may resolve this problem in the futur. Anyone out there knows if that would fix it? GH -Original Message- From: Mach Nife [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: September 1, 2004 09:17 To: [EMAIL

MI-L Create unique index for Access tables in workspace?

Dear list, We need to create a unique index on Access tables using a statement in the workspace. We currently have to manually run the SQL statement: create unique index MI_ID on tblMILINK(RecordID) in the MapInfo DBMS SQL runner every time a table (e.g. tblMILINK) is updated in Access, to

We already tried this but no code is displayed in the MapBasic window when the 'create unique index' statement is executed in the MapInfo DBMS SQL Runner. -Original Message- From: Cummings, Mike [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: 01 September 2004 15:38 To: Julian Balson Subject: RE: MI-L

MI-L Update Column by matching 2 fields

Hi everyone, There is probably a very simple solution to my question, but I don't know it! I'm trying to update a column in a table by matching 2 fields with another table with the same 2 fields how do I do it? Table Update Column seem to only allow me one fields to match... so I

MI-L Unable to initialize graph engine

I am getting the error Unable to initialize graph engine then I start MapInfo. After clicking ok, MapInfo closes. I used to get this occasionally in the past but now seems to be a permanent thing. Has anyone else experienced this? Thanks, Pat

Re: MI-L Alternative to MapXtreme

Have you looked at Exponare yet? We were given a demo recently, and it looks quite nice. It was built on MapXtreme, so will be familiar. I'd suggest a look. Guy Corcoran Data Management Technician MWH NZ Ltd. (Christchurch) Ph: (64-3) 343-8728 Mob: (64) 21 260-7326 Fax: (64-3) 366-7780

Re: MI-L Update Column by matching 2 fields

Susan, This is a pain that MapInfo won't support multi column update queries, but there is a workaround. If you make a selection first: Select * From TableA, TableB Where COl1=Col1 AND Col2=COl2 Into UpdateSet Then use the table Update column command to update the query UpdateSet with data from

RE: MI-L Ang. MI-L Alternative to MapXtreme

The grass is always greener If you have any sort of experience with MapX you will quickly discern the limitations of the so-called MapX alternatives, including the pending MapX.NET. We too have been looking around since evaluating and finding the jump from MapX to MapX.NET will be neither
