Kim,
We did a story on this in March, at which time Andrew Dressel,
director of the MapInfo Professional Product Line, told us
"We have been examining the option of incorporating VBA into
MI Pro for some time. For various reasons, both external and
internal, we don't believe that now is the time to do it. We
may choose to do so in the future."
Regards,
Scott Elliott

Subject: MI Object oriented programming for Map Basic
Fellow listers,
I have a client who has employed a programmer to do some "sexy" linkages
between Microsoft Access and Mapinfo. As the person producing the spatial
themes (and not very clued up on Map Basic) I have been asked:
1. How long before Map Basic adopts an object oriented programming language
(eg Visual Basic) to keep in line with Microsoft Office products?
2. If Map Basic is never likely to adopt this VB language, what other
mapping program does?
3. Is Map Basic more than just a fancy macro recorder - can a MapBasic
programmer get the same functionality as say a programmer in the Office
environment? ie what sort of a bang do you get for your buck (Au$1500+)
I welcome any response.
