Here's something I've been able to do in ArcView, but have no recent experience with in MI. Does anyone have any experience with this and/or suggestions to offer? I have an Access97 database that includes latitude and longitude fields. I'd like to be able to open an MI table of that database so that all records have point objects affiliated with them, based on the most up-to-date values in the latitude and longitude fields. It'd be nice to avoid having to create points by hand each time. In the past, I've used a somewhat clunky workaround -- I wrote an MB program to create the points. Unfortunately, one has to remember to run the .MBX every time information changes in the Access database. ArcView can 'create the points' (or whatever the equivalent ESRI term is!) anew every time the data is opened and added to a view (=mapper). Does MI have a similar functionality? Thanks for any help you can offer.
