Sure,

In order to help others facing the same troubles, here are the answers I got...


1) It seems that limitations in the number of objects is pretty high. 
Someone has worked without problem with 18 millions points!


2) Regarding the Search As You Type feature, it is doable by programming 
MapInfo with MapBasic (which I have). Then a dialog box would display the 
object you're looking for as you type and once found, it would center the 
map on that reference.

3) The Info Balloon can use the field "Expression..." where it is possible 
to combine fields from the same table. This way it is possible to use an 
expression such as
        StreetName + " " +StreetNumber + chr$(13) + ZIP + " " + City
the chr$(13) being a line break


4) Finally, changing the projection system of a file with the correct 
coordinates is easy. Export the table to Mif/Mid and open the mif file in a 
text editor. Remove the "coordsys" line and paste the correct one instead 
(you can get it from a valid table). Since the data itself will remain 
untouched, that's it. Re-import the MIF/MID and you're done.

Thanks to all of you.
Sincerely,
Steve JORDI
