Laith,
This will be a problem with a renamed or missing field in a table. The
MapInfo Workspace is trying to set up labels on a field called "ID" which no
longer exists. (even though you may never have put any labels on).
MAKE BACKUPS OF ALL TABLES AND WORKSPACES BEFORE MODIFYING!!!!!
So, you have a few options:
1. Find the offending table which used to have the ID field and replace it
or rename it back to "ID". (WARNING this may have the same effect on other
workspaces created recently using the same table!)
2. Open the workspace IN A TEXT EDITOR and find where MapInfo is trying to
set up the labels. Parts of your workspace will look something like this:
Set Map
Layer 1
Display Global
Global Symbol (46,16711680,9)
Label Line Arrow Position Right Font ("Arial",0,7,0) Pen (1,2,0)
With ID
Parallel On Auto Off Overlap Off Duplicates On Offset 2
Visibility On
Layer 2
Display Graphic
Label Line Arrow Position Right Font ("Arial",0,9,0) Pen (1,2,0)
With ROAD_NAME
Parallel On Auto Off Overlap Off Duplicates On Offset 2
Visibility On
What I usually do is just delete the 4 lines from
Label Line...
to
...Visibility On.
If I had no labels in the workspace at all, I often delete EVERY occurance
of these label statements, otherwise you can search for the ones that say
"With ID" on the second line and just delete those.
3. You can do similar to above, but change the "With ID" to whatever the new
name of the column is (or any other column).
Hope this helps.

Subject: MI workspace opening problems
Friends,
How can I get around workspace opening problems:
a) "Variable or Field ID not defined"
b) "invalid view layer"
I need this workspace to open now.
Thanks in advance.
