Here's the situation that I have a solution for, but the solution is not the
best.
I am given data from the client in a mapinfo table. now the client wants
each building numbered when they are plotted out so that they can look on
the hard copy of the table and look on a hard copy of a map. here's what I
do to solve this problem. first I copy the tables into a new directory,
open the copied tables up and add a new field to them then save them as
access files. then I copy the MAPINFO_ID column into the new column and
open the new table in mapinfo. This works to a degree but we also work with
other companies who will send us updated files so the whole process has to
be redone. this quickly makes too many different tables and can cause
problems. is there a way to number the items without creating new tables
and/or adding new columns? I've tried to access the "MAPINFO_ID" column but
I think I've found out that you can not. for reference I am using MapInfo
Pro v5.5 any help is greatly appreciated. Thanks.
Bryan
