hello,
ProViewer is locked, as with all apps using MapInfo Runtime, to what it can
and can not do -- WYSIWYG.
The workstations do not need MapInfo, as the PV runtime is installed during
installation.
The best you can do is what I did.
Use Delphi, VB, C--, Jiva, etc to build a user interface allowing the client
to select tables to
display, and things such as setting the global display values and layer
zooming.
Then generate a WOR and launch PV with the wor file as a parameter.
I even built SQL select into the interface and put it into the wor for
selecting only portions of the map.
[ ie, display a brower of one record ]
You can't put PV on a server and run it from there, to my knowledge, so I
set up my client
with PV on each machine with all workstations pointing to a common mapped
drive on the server
where all the files are at. Think they decided on drive P:\Maps so they
save a workspace
the open the wor in notepad and do a search and replace on the local drive
with the
network drive and save the workspace to the server [c:\program
files\mapinfo\ replaced with P:\Maps\].
Each workstation has different icons for the type of wor that is needed.
My client is a tax appraisal office so they have several types of
workspaces.
For Item #3, yes you code that into the Open Table statement in the wor

To whom it may concern:
Just a couple of quick questions regarding ProViewer.
1) Is it possible to customize ProViewer in any way? In particular I am
looking to configure it so that when a user clicks on the ProViewer icon a
table of my choice is opened automatically. Therefore, I would want to
disable the startup prompt that prompts the user to select a table or
workspace and replace that with the table/workspace of my choice.
2) Also is it possible to run ProViewer off of a server? Also do the
terminals that will be using ProViewer have to also have MapInfo installed
on them?
3) When you are setting up data on a server to be accessed via ProViewer,
can you set this dataset as read only or write only or read and write
only?
If so how?
