Hi Natalie,
You don't need any tools to accomplish your task.
A plain MapInfo "macro" will do the trick. You know, those with the WOR
extension ;-)
E.g. a file named "MultiImport.wor" with the following content (assuming
C=hard drive, D=CD-ROM) :
!Workspace
!Version 400
!Charset WindowsLatin1
Import "d:\somepath\file1.mif" Type "MIF" Into "c:\somepath\file1.tab"
Overwrite
Import "d:\somepath\file2.mif" Type "MIF" Into "c:\somepath\file2.tab"
Overwrite
Import "d:\somepath\file3.mif" Type "MIF" Into "c:\somepath\file3.tab"
Overwrite
Import "d:\somepath\file4.mif" Type "MIF" Into "c:\somepath\file4.tab"
Overwrite
Import "d:\somepath\file5.mif" Type "MIF" Into "c:\somepath\file5.tab"
Overwrite
Import "d:\somepath\file6.mif" Type "MIF" Into "c:\somepath\file6.tab"
Overwrite
...etc.
To "execute" the macro in MI Pro, just use "Add workspace..." and choose
the "MultiImport.wor" file.
Modify the "MultiImport.wor" with any text editor, preferably one with
keyboard macro capability.
E.g. the freeware product PFE (http://www.lancs.ac.uk/people/cpaap/pfe/).
Please refer to the MapBasic manual for the complete syntax of the "IMPORT"
statement.
Hint: A MapInfo "macro" can also execute other MapInfo macros, so you
modularize your task.
Regards
Lars Nielsen

Subject: MI Mid/Mif import
Hello all,
I'd sent out a message a while back regarding .mid/.mif batch importing
into
MI.
I recieved a lot of response and was sent a few .mbx programs to
try:Batchtools( Batchmif), Import, ImportMI... but I've had limited success
with any of them.
I'm trying to convert ~16,000 read only files from a cd, and the conversion
works fine with UT but this would obviously be an extremely tedious option.
If anyone can provide further help I'd really appreciate it.
