Hi Matthew, If the workspace DOES open eventually, ie it isn't broken, then in my experience this is due to a seamless table in the workspace slowing things down. A workspace contains a list of Mapbasic commands that are executed sequentially, and in a typical workspace that creates a map, th

Hello, I've come across that sort of problem a long time ago : one of my workspace would take ages before any maps shows up. Once the map shows, the end of the process was fast. Other workspaces based on the same files were much faster to open. In my case, I had around 120 times : "SELECT * FR

RE: MI-L Workspace slow to open

One thing that really can slow down things is when the workspace contains names of printers that no longer exists. Two ways to deal with this: 1. Open the workspace and save it again with names of printers that exists. This should remove names of ancient printers from your workspace 2. Under pr
