SpatialPlus also have an excellent freeware package called CopyPlus designed specifically to copy MI workspaces.
It will copy the workspace into the specified root directory and any attached tables will also be picked up and copied into a directory called tables (created by CopyPlus) in the root directory. The disadvantages are that MI5.5 workspaces are converted back to MI5.0 and may lose or rearrange relevant MI5.5 only features (we use 5.5) like workspace header, printer commands or relief shading. SpatialPlus may have rewritten it since i downloaded it (for free) from www.spatialplus.com to update it for use with MI6.0 and 6.5. If you are copying to a CD first, it allows this but afterward, you will need to uncheck all the tables and .wor read-only tick boxes to allow further editing as they are made read-only for the CD.

Once all your files have been shifted or files and drives have been renamed, you can basically search find and replace all the paths (and names) with the new ones... It can be bothersome, but it does sort out all of your workspaces at once. Another tool we used, to find the troublemaking paths, is WorkspaceControl, from 4th beach Software Pty, again, a free download trial package. Hope thats helpful Cheers Richard Earl -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Wednesday, 28 November 2001 05:09 To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: MI-L workspace links and moving data files I will be moving all my data to a network drive which is backed up on a regular basis. My data is now presently stored on 2 disk drives which are also partitioned into several other drives on my local NT computer. When I start moving my files I know this will effect various workspaces I have which have links to various files located on different drives. I want to try and prevent as much as possible from having to do a lot of editing of my workspaces and was wondering if anyone has been through this process and might have any tips or suggestions before I start reorganizing my data?
