Hi Jane,
If you don't have mapbasic, but don't mind doing a bit of copy and paste in
a text editor, you can batch MIF import up by making a fake workspace (a
plain text file, with file name ending in .wor and the right header lines to
identify it in MapInfo) - like this:
!workspace
!version 300
!charset windowslatin1
import "file1.mif" type "mif" into "table1.tab"
import "file2.mif" type "mif" into "table2.tab"
etc. etc.
where file1.mif, file2.mif are the mif files (including paths) and
table1.tab, table2.tab are the tab files you want tp create, also including
paths.
This'll probably fall over if the tables already exist, so you'll need to
check before you run it. This sort of thing is pretty useful for batching up
other operations too: if you display the mapbasic window whilst doing a
"prototype" run, you can copy and paste the commands to a fake workspace.
Of course, with mapbsic you could write something a bit more robust. Mind
you, if you don't have too many files to import it might not be worth the
effort!
Hope this helps
