RE: MI-L SQL and selecting records...

Jeff, The key is the order that you list the tables in the table box of the SQL select. The first table will hold a bunch of selected records. In your case make sure you list the points table first, then the data table. The selected records are the same records that show in the query, but you'l

MI-L Win XP and Selection Issues

Dear Readers, I am in desperate need of assistance. We have an application that does various map manipulation and digitization tools for us. This is a MapBasic Application that is currently in MI 6.5. We are running Win XP. We have narrowed the issue to anything we do to a selection. Our goal i

MI-L Digitize application problems

Dear Readers,   We are currently experiencing a major issue with a MapInfo RunTime/MapBasic application.  One of our programmers has sent me the note below in hopes that one of you might have an idea of what is wrong.  We are running the system on XP.   First a piece of history.  This tool has w

MI-L Controlling Row Order in HTML Image Maps

MI-L Clip Region Crashes on Labels

Hi, I have a client who when he changes his labels after clipping a region MapInfo frequently freezes and then crashes. Is this the typical slow down/freeze with Clip Region or is there something he is doing wrong that is crashing the system? He is running 6.5 on Win 2000 Professional. I've for

RE: MI-L Map GOTO

If you have the map layer open, you can use the find command under the Query Menu. You'll need to tell it which layer to look in, but that's about as hard as it gets. Jennifer MBS, Inc. -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]]On Behalf Of Ron Gutiw Sent: Tue

RE: MI-L

Oliver, You can also search for one letter wild cards using the like operator of the SQL selection. Use an underscore (_) where you'd want the letter to sit. For instance if you wanted any letter to be in one part of a string you could put the underscore there. This search: ID Like "B_x" would

RE: MI-L Measure Distance in Excel

I am assuming you are using two tables to do this and measuring the distance between points with a common attribute in columns in both tables. In order for this to work, you'll need to have created a map with the data. Give you describe your files as points, I believe you've already done that.

RE: MI-L MapInfo Upgrade

Mike and Vinny, Sometimes you can get lucky though and change the workspace version number at the top of the file to 6 instead of 6.5. It depends on how many 6.5 tools you used in the workspace when it was updated, but I've tricked a few into thinking workspaces were in 5.5 instead of 6.0. I wou

MI-L Tree Fonts

Dear Readers, I'm hoping someone has something to help my client. He needs fonts to show a variety of tree types. The ones that are in the various fonts in MapInfo Pro aren't sufficient for his needs as he needs more variety and would like a little bit nicer looking ones. Custom symbols would

MI-L Grid to Regions Sum

Thanks to all who responded to my grid to region conversion need (Derek Snyder of MapInfo, Uffe Kousgaard of RouteWare and Roy Chiappini of Randa Enterprises). As always the solutions were greatly appreciated. The one we settled on was actually right under my nose which made it wonderfully conven

MI-L Searching for Part Time Mapper in Nashville TN

Dear Readers, I have a client/friend who is currently looking for someone to do very simple MapInfo Professional mapping work in Nashville a few hours per month. The predecessor to this position has set the system up to run nearly automatically, but they need someone to come in to their office in

MI-L Grid to Regions

Dear Readers, We have just recently and with the help of this list made big strides in the digitization of our client's paper maps. Having done so we now have rather messy grids of polylines. We need to now convert the blank areas between the grid lines into regions. The current plan is to do

RE: MI-L Table structure

Claude, One simplistic option would be to open the tab files in a text editor and look at the table structures there. They'll be in the first section of the document. It covers the info you're looking for. The top of the City_125 layer that comes with MI Pro looks like this for instance: Typ

Dear Readers, First, thank you to everyone who responded to my previous request for information on the Raster to Vector conversion. I was sent several very useful answers as well as a few suggestions we hadn't considered. We've settled on a nice one. Today's question relates to a mapped table co

MI-L Raster to Vector Conversion

Dear readers, I am in need of a raster to vector conversion software and am looking for advice in where to turn and tips on what to look for. My company works with scanned images of cemetery maps. The maps are fairly simple in terms of basically being made up of a variety of lines that after our

MI-L Geoset vs. Workspaces AND Overview Maps AND Aliases

Three main questions (sorry for so many): First: My company is considering a switch from a MapBasic Application w/MapInfo RunTimes to a MapX Application. Some, not all, of our clients use the full editability of maps found in regular workspaces. If we switch to MapX and the confines of Geosets,

RE: MI-L MI-Towers

Steve, Thank you for your very kind thoughts. I know the American Red Cross has been asking Americans for blood and money donated to them for disaster recovery for the people in Washington and New York. I'm not sure if there are larger groups or not, but your kindness would most likely be very
