Thanks for all of the replies; it seems as
if there are a lot of GIS users out there with some kind of problem. It appears
that the problem is greatly increased by the specific actions required for GIS
use (click/drag, precision mouse use etc.) and is a greater issue than the
usual
Does anyone have trouble with repetitive strain type
injuries or know of other GI users with these types of problems? Im
interested because there seems to be a spate of users around me who are
developing various different symptoms; wrist, shoulder, elbow pain, and they
all input/alter GI
and am starting to notice what may be
worrying trends with users within my authority.
And yes, after subscribing for at least 6
years, Im gradually beginning to realise which forum Im on. J

Lars,
What objective argument leads you to that conclusion ? If you're
referring to the ability of the TAB format to hold multiple topography, I
find that to be mostly irrelevant, 1) since most use the tables for
single-topography data anyway, and 2) most users are annoyed by the
horrendeous old
, I can still easily divide the topologies into
seperate files with a few queries if necessary.

Hello all,
I have a lot of building polygons which I need to check and then change the
colour of various ones. What I would like, is to be able to select a polygon
and then hit a hot key or ctrl key which changes the colour of the polygon. It
would save me a lot of time rather than having to
edit, then selecting the
colour and OK'ing it all slows the process down. I was hoping there'd be some
definable hotkeys in MapInfo without having to create a mbx.
Thanks
Andrew

Hi John,
I've been looking for one for a while aswell. At the moment, we just use a text
'T' and rotate it to suit. Not ideal, but it works.

Or you can save your table as part of a workspace, and the hotlink settings are

Stephen,
The DETR have a dataset which used their definition of urban areas based on
land-use/population. It's based on 1991 data so is quite dated now. If you search on
www.gigateway.org.uk you should be able to find the details of the dataset and how
they defined urban areas.

Big thanks for writing it, our Land Surveyor thinks it's a godsend. I'd found the tool
on the directions mag site a while ago. (On there, it's down as being written by

There have been times on the list where feathers have been ruffled by wrongly

If it helps, think of it more like me watching my back, not patting yours. :)

You must not have received the mail I sent direct to yourself. So here it is again.
The tool you want is on the directions mag website, it's called voparallel at

Axel,
The basic sql statements depend on wether you are querying lines or polygons.
The basic query command is Str$(ObjectInfo(Obj,x))=y)
For x - use 2 to query the line style and 3 to query the fill style
For y - Use either:
Pen(a,b,c) for line queries, where a=width (1 being the narrowest),

In my tentative first steps at linking MapInfo and Access through ODBC, I've created
