MapBasic has the Pack Table statement which you can issue- on large tables it can take a while (although so does committing as a new table) and it removes the table from any windows which display it - but that said, it is very useful and you should use it regularly on any table which is being edited a lot to aid performance.
MapX has - at last - introduced an equivalent - http://testdrive.mapinfo.com/techsupp/miprod.nsf/kbase_by_product/A86496BA17 1F30B085256A850061E821 HTH Paul Crisp Syntegra Direct: 0191 461 4522 Mobile: 0776 414 3762 Fax: (0191) 461 1959 Innovation Place Metro Riverside Park Delta Bank Road Gateshead Tyne & Wear NE11 9DJ -----Original Message----- From: David Doering [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: 03 October 2001 15:13 To: 'Benoit RACAULT'; [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: RE: MI-L Compact Table Packing tables in MapBasic. This may not be the ideal solution but it works: Commit the table with a new file name - deleted rows will not be saved in the new table. Close your table with the deleted rows, Open the new table and overwrite the old table with it. -----Original Message----- Hello, I need to remove rows from a table where content has been deleted. In MapBasic, I write=20 Run Menu Command 403 But I obtain a dialog box where I have to click on my choice. Is it possible to avoid this dialog box in MB ?
