RE: MI-L MI 7.0 and ESRI Shapefiles?

John MI actually seems to translate the files rather than read them on the fly. It creates a .tab, .id, .ind and .map file and uses the shape files .dbf instead of the .dat file. I'm not sure whether any linking exists between the files (i.e. if the shape gets edited is the MapInfo table updated ?

JC It sounds horribly like you have an ArcGIS Geodatabase. What ArcGIS (or ArcInfo/ArcView 8.0) allows you to do is store geometry in databases either as a enterprise geodatabase (i.e. in something like SQL server/Oracle/DB2) or as a personal geodatabase which uses the Access 2000 format. I would
