[MI-L] combine close-together lines

hello, i have a few hundred bus route layers that i'm trying to get a rough distance figure on. now most of these routes travel along the same arterial trunks for some portion of their journey, i'd like to combine any routes that do this so that portion is only counted once in the

the function you want is ObjectNode... but for some reason i can't find it in the MI helpfile... i haven't used it for maybe the last 2 updates of MI so maybe it's gone...?? From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Matt FosseySent: Wednesday, 21 June 2006 12:56

RE: [MI-L] E-mailing TAB file sets

actually you think there'd be a semi-compiled file format available. it'd be great to just be able to email someone a single file and have it usable in MI directly. i don't do it so much nowadays, but others in my dept do, and i remember every time i emailed them i'd have to give instructions for

RE: Ang. Re: [MI-L] Settle a bet - Is MapBasic Programming orScri pting?

well, i'm pushing 30 and i've been tinkering with the insides of programs/scripts since learning basic on the C64 in 1984... so, what's the definitional difference between programming and scripting? we can talk about 2nd and 3rd generation languages, but then i've written a gazillion functions

RE: [MI-L] Integrated Map Not Editable

it shouldn't make a difference. check the properties of your access forms, whether it is locked or read-only or something. are you able to do anything else in it such as navigate and zoom and layer control and whatnot? is it only editing you cannot do? -Original Message- From: [EMAIL

actually i don't think it's an MI issue, it sounds like you need the jet DLL's reinstalled. sorry i can't recall the exact stuff right now it's been a while, but get one of your resident nerds to make sure the latest patches for Jet and stuff are applied to Office. -Original Message-

RE: MI-L RE: Getting MI to work in Access

glad you like. our department has been using an access based public transport information system for years now, i made it as a 'what if' kinda thing and just kept adding to it as some people liked it, it also includes a seamless integration of mapping tools using mapinfo, but the next stage is

yep no problem, there should be something in the code called like MIOBJ or something. just create a function to set MIOBJ.Visible = False -Original Message- From: Greg Branan [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Tuesday, 4 October 2005 5:47 AM To: 'Simmonds, Ashley (DTEI)'; mapinfo-l

RE: MI-L Getting MI to work in Access

hi Greg, all you are talking about is doable and quite easily once you get a grip on it. access uses a subform not a picturebox. here's a link to a message from a couple years ago, it includes a link to a very basic example of integrated mapping and should get you going.

RE: MI-L Too difficult for any of you :-)

i do public transport route planning and came upon this quandary a few years ago. in the end it was too much hard yakka to bother so i ended up just going with a given maximum walk distance and multiplying that by about 1.4 to account for average turns and routes needed to get from a to b, i

MI-L points from intersecting lines

so i'm sure this is one of the most basic functions but it currently escapes me i have a table with like 700 lines (bus routes) and i want to create a point table wherever those lines intersect so we can analyze those locations. is it easier to do it with all these lines appended into a
