MI-L Installation Problems and Messages

Hello, We get the following messages in sequence when we start MI 6.5 on both of two Win2000 Dell networked computer (MI installed locally): MI splash screen first appears with the error messages inside in a little box titled "MapInfo Map." First error: Failed to update the system registry. Pleas

RE: MI-L GIS and Environmental Modelling

I can think of a couple tools that are applicable to environmetal modeling if not specific to it. One is from FEMA. It's called HAZUS and, while it's specific purpose is natural hazard modeling (currently it models earthquakes; in the near future it will be available for floods and windstorms),

MI-L MB-If Then Loop

Hello, I'm submitting this for a non-MI-L colleague. His problem is with the if then loop at the beginning of the code. Thanks for your help. Any observations greatly appreciated. Please respond to [EMAIL PROTECTED] Thanks, Tim Rood FEMA do until i = 192 if n <> t then i = i - 1 ' I am not

MI-L: Arc Un Link in MI 6.5?

Hello, Hello, Neither my colleague nor I at FEMA can get ArcLink to start without crashing MI. We're using 6.5. (I'd be a little more resourceful and not ask the list about this except FEMAns don't get install/delete/modify access to the SW. ) I'll summ. Thanks, Tim Rood FEMA _

MI-L Unstable Buttons

I've received the following from a FEMA colleague. He asked that I forward it to the "L" for assistance. Here's his message and his code follows: Can you help me code a button to "always stay activated" like the other tool buttons in the tool menu? Here is my code. Currently it is visible for

RE: MI-L MapPoint 2002

It has been a while since I used MapPoint and it was an older version. I used it primarily to make wallpaper maps, i.e., maps whose first job is to be pretty. MP does that well because it has lots of good data and it's well developed for displaying it at various zoom levels, etc. I don't rememb

MI-L MI-L: Oregon Troubles

MI-L MI-L: Append2.mbx

Hello, I'm getting odd (!!) results using the Append2.mbx from the DirectionsMag tool site. I've used it successfully before to batch append dozens of similarly structured tables such as flood maps. Now I'm trying to use it with NWI wetlands quads, appending the quad sheets together to create co

MI-L MI: SQL Table Jumble

Hello, I've used version 7 for a day now and found a feature I haven't seen yet. Perhaps it's familiar to others. My pull down menu for "tables" in the SQL window is a mess; the table names are totally jumbled up and overwriting each other to the point that they can't even be sorted out one from

MI-L MB: Can't Select or Stop!

Hi, I've been cruising along on a little program that "automates" some repetitive mapmapking. At one point I need to geographically query a polygon layer(a National Wetlands Inventory quad index) so I can determine which NWI quads and DRG basemaps our project area is within. I've assigned the pr

MI-L Automating DRG Projection Change

Hello, I'm trying to change the projection of at least dozens, perhaps scores or even hundreds, of DRG for the states of WA, OR, ID and AK (FEMA Region X). I get them off the web in UTM (NAD 27/US) , but we want to store everything as Lat/Long NAD 83, so we (read "I") have to change the project

RE: MI-L TIGER data

Here- www.gistools.com/descrip2.htm I thought Sol Katz had done one, but this is what Google shows? It's been years since I used a raw tiger converter, but it looks like we'll have to dust of that skill. Tim Rood -Original Message- From: Glenn Letham [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: T

RE: MI-L Applying a coordinate system

I'm going out on a limb here, but, I'd be willing to bet your shapefile is not non-earth. Unfortunately, ArcView is horrible about disclosing it's projection information, which it doesn't keep in the first place. First, I'd check with the data provider or check the metadata, if any. Or, maybe yo

RE: MI-L MI in academics

Dick, I paid $200 for MI 2.X through the University of Washington academic pricing program in 1993. All of my upgrades since have been bought through the local MI distributor and I've never had any further hint of an MI academic program. But, it seems to have been there in some form in '93. I

MI-L Small Fix to Transform Clause Info

To all and the Archive, I was looking around in the MI-L archives today for tips on transforming coordinates in a map where the Y coordinate had been shifted. I found good info, but a small info gap that I thought I'd fill for those who might run into this situation in the future. The situatio

MI-L WorldReg from Data Directions

List, I asked the other day about changing projections of DRG raster images, preferrably in a batch operation, because I have dozens or hundred to convert for FEMA Region X. I promised to summarize, but the solution I adopted was nothng like the question I asked, which had to do with MapBasic st

MI-L MI-Universal Translator Problems

We're having trouble trying to UT a file containing 4316 polygons. Depending on the machine (RAM, CPU, etc.) MI either just hangs or gives us an out of memory error ("close some apps."). The shape file is 45MB and it seems that the polygons have lots of line segments: a crude sample show polygons
