Hi Pierre,
I tried exporting a seamless table to MIF/MID to see how it looked -
basically, MI doesn't let you export the table till you've turned seamless
off, and then doesn't put anything in the MIF/MID to indicate that the table
is seamless. When you import, it's just a normal table.
I'm pretty sure the part of the table that makes it seamless is some ASCII
data in the .tab file: all our seamless tables have the following lines at
the end of their .tab files:
begin_metadata
"\IsSeamless" = "TRUE"
"\IsReadOnly" = "FALSE"
end_metadata
so, I think you just need a way to append these four lines to the end of
each tab file after import. Without access to a programming language, you
might have to resort to DOS and use the cat command. If you can batch up a
script that does
cat tempfile >> tabfile
where tempfile is an ascii file with the four lines above and tabfile is the
tab file, for all of the tables you need to make seamless, you're laughing!
Hope this helps.
