To Ron You can probably use a shareware text-editor call ultraedit-32 (www.ultraedit.com) . It has a function to search and replace text in files (ex. *.wor) placed in a specific directory (and subdirectories, If you want that). I have used this editor to change filenames from "xxx.tif" to "xxx.ecw" in 35.000 tab-files placed i 5 different directories as one task - and it worked!! Try it - it's a great text-editor Bo Thomsen GeoConsult I/S Denmark > -----Oprindelig meddelelse----- > Fra: Ron Larock [SMTP:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] > Sendt: 1. december 1999 23:02 > Til: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > Cc: [EMAIL PROTECTED]; [EMAIL PROTECTED] > Emne: MI Renaming Table Path Names Within a Workspace file > > Can you help? > > We want to move several GBytes of Infomap data & related files from two > existing servers to a new one.
