Dan, I had a bugger of a time with 'Internal Error 34623' on an integrated mapping project I did with VB and MapInfo. The reason this error is generated is because a window handle is not being passed correctly or in my case, in a timely fashion, inside MapInfo. What I had to do was to write a pie

Dave, I can't point you to a specific resource to help in your investigation, but I can give you some wisdom I acquired over time. 1) You cannot buy a server that is future proof. It is already obsolete by the time that it arrives at your door. What you can do is delay the inevitable (see below).

Another possibility is to use an API call in the VB program to always keep the VB window as the top most window. Will force the user to respond to the VB program before allowing the user back into MapInfo/MapBasic. James F. Koennicke Consultant Vista Information Technologies, Inc. 2195 Fox Mill R

RE: MI-L Oracle 8i and its symbols

2000-10-12 Thread James Koennicke
Alejandro,   Oracle 8i does not have anything to do with the symbols used for display, it only stores the geometry of an object. The tool that you use for display purposes (MI PRO, MapXtreme, etc.) determines the the symbols used. You could however, store the symbol to be used as an attribut
