Thanks for all the helpful replies regarding e-mailing workspaces.
After reading all the replies I have chosen two which represented the two main
options for preparing workspaces to be e-mailed. These replies are pasted below.
FIRST METHOD (By Brian Forrestor)
What you need to do is move the workspace and all of the tables into a
single sub-directory then..
use a decent text-editor to edit the .WOR file.
The .WOR is made up of three main sections;
1. File Opens
2. Map Window organisation
3. Cosmetic Layer stuff
This should be clear if you scroll down through the file.
You need only edit the "Open Table" lines by taking out all
directory/sub-directory references -
Open Table "u:\mapping\prod\coastlin\Pathwrld" As Pathwrld Interactive
Open Table "u:\mapping\prod\coastlin\US_State" As US_State Interactive
in this case I would delete the <u:\mapping\prod\coastline> to leave
Open Table "Pathwrld" As Pathwrld Interactive
Open Table "US_State" As US_State Interactive
You can also use this to change the path to the .TAB if someone has,
helpfully, moved one of your tables to a different sub-directory (happens to
me all the time).
The Interactive statement at the end of the line is supposed to let you
search for the file if it is not in the stated sub-directory.
However, this has never been very successful with me. I'd rather just edit
the file directly.
SECOND METHOD (By Sue Port)
We have a free program called Copy Plus that copies workspaces. It was
designed for copying MapInfo data to a CD or laptop however it could be used for
emailing.
If you use Copy Plus and zip up that directory with the newly copied
workspace in it and keeping the directory structure (an option of most zip
programs), the person receiving the email would only need to unzip it.
Copy Plus should eliminate the problem you are having with the seamless
table. The seamless table (roadmap) is calling other tables that haven't been
copied.
