[MI-L] MapInfo Tab failure when going SHape->TAB

Hi Christine,   I agree with you that the most likely problems is the record length issue.   One way to deal with it would be to open the DBF file related to the shape file in a program like Excel, and then delete columns you don’t care about (and you could verify that there are lots of

RE: [MI-L] Universal Translator

Thanks to those who replied to my problem!  Turns out the attribute fields were too large as most of the fields were a character length of 254.  I took out many fields and adjusted the rest to make sure the file was small enough to translate and it worked perfectly.  Thanks again   Christine

Re: [MI-L] Universal Translator

Christine, There may be some database table fields that are greater in length than 254 characters. Also, you mave have too many fields that are of 254 characters. I receive files like this all of the time, the way to get them to work is to restructure the .DBF file included with the shape file

RE: [MI-L] Spatialware on MapInfo 8.5

Hi Ian,   Actually someone from MapInfo replied to me directly regarding the post I placed on the list.  I have since upgraded to SpatialWare 4.8 and installed the required patch.  I was told version 4.9 will be released here sometime this autumn, but the only difference between it and versi

RE: SV: [Spam] Re: [MI-L] DLL function name limit

Peter and others, The DLL function names are parsed like all MapBasic identifiers and therefore must be 31 characters or less.  Using the MapBasic "alias" is not a solution. If you do have access to the DLL source or can even just relink it, you can use a .DEF file to provide aliases for the ac

[MI-L] setup GPS GeoCoding-on start-up of a workspace.

We have a standard workspace that we use in the field with Blue Marble Graphics Geographic Traker. We collect polyline information & store it in the same table name. Since we have multiple users, I end up with all sorts of line styles & colors or someone forgets to select the correct table.

RE: [MI-L] Icon Image Buttons in dialogs

There is a very devious way to do it. First, you must have MapInfo v7 or +. Second, you must extract the icon as a BMP (via Resource Hacker for example). Third, the bmp must be registered as a TAB. Fourth you must include in your code a dialog handler to display the icon. Fifth, you should restor

Hi Mathab, Not sure about number 2 or number 3, but believe if you change the default style under the Options---Preferences menu and changing the settings under Styles, should make default styles stick for every session. If you are changing the style using the the menu Options---Line Style or Reg

[MI-L] Thematic Legends

Hello all,   When creating legends from a thematic layer is there any way to get the text over more than 1 line? Also, there appears to be a limit to the amount of text you can have per item – something around the 80 characters area.   Is there any way to get around this?   Regards,  

[MI-L] Raster Smoothing in MI Pro 8.5

The brochures for 8.5 state that it can smooth raster data, and I saw a demo of this at a MapInfo user forum earler this year. However I've downloaded the demo version of 8.5 and can't figure it out, and the help file isn't helping me at all. Does anyone know how to do this? Is it available in th

I guess your using Vertical Mapper since you say splicing. Check to see if you have the same meta data on the grid. You can check and alter it in Tools>Alter Metadata on the Grid Manager. Jakob Lanstorp Software Developer GIS, Surveying & IT COWI A/S Odensevej 95 DK-5260 Odense S Denmark Tel
