I recieved one answer for this, so I am not sure if I explained myself correctly. Let me try one more time. I have a request to create some maps showing HF coverage reliability based on time of day, sun strength and other factors that may affect HF propagation. I also have a problem that I am

Re: MI-L Access 2000 and MI 5.5 incompatible?

2001-08-17 Thread Andrew_Dressel
We recently installed Office 2000 on all our workstations. Access 2000 allows you to convert existing databases to the new format or keep in the old format. I have found that databases kept in the old format still allow me to open the Access tables in our version 5.5 Mapinfo. However, new

Does anyone happen to know why I can rotate a Map window when I have normal vector data in it (RotateMapWindow.mbx), but when I try to rotate a window with an aerial photo in, it can't do it? I tried this with raster maps and got a message saying that they would not rotate properly so am assuming

This is a great revelation, but still doesn't quite address a feature that I haven't been able to discover: dynamic (i.e. runtime) creation of Dialog Controls. Do any of you have a slick way (that I obviously have overlooked) of using MapBASIC program logic to create dialog controls. The

I have run into a problem when computing areas from MapInfo 6.0. I have found discrepancies between the figure given when double clicking on a polygon to see the area, and that given in the browser when performing a column update. At first I assumed that it was merely a case of the browser
