I can only agree to your wishes, these handlers sure would make a lot of things easier, and MapInfo Corp please make them in such a way that it is allowed to show a dialog when these handlers are called. As things are now no Handlers allow any Print, Note or Dialog commands.
Anyway, there is a way around this, even though there are some pitfalls is this circumvention: The WinChangedHandler is called when there is a change in a map window, and there mostly is a change in the map window whenever there has been made a change to a table. I have allready used this way to update certain columns with certain userdefined values, so it works, but... 1. You'll need to know which table should be altered 2. You'll need to know how many records this table contains before being altered 3. You can only catch new records :-( Whenever the WinChangedHandler is called, you'll need to check if there has beed added a new record to this table, if so the new record will be the last one. Now you can update this record with you date stamp and eventually other values.

I will appreciate intercepting events when you update a record create a record or delete a record and be able to save the modyfied objects to make incremental files for updating geographics tables and reverse updates for example to build easily the networks of each year Patrick Palmier Lille M�tropole Communaut� Urbaine Mission Plan de D�placements Urbains 1, rue du Ballon BP749 59034 LILLE cedex FRANCE T�l: 33 / 03 20 21 31 78 Fax: 33 /03 20 21 30 14 mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.cudl-lille.fr/FR/Accessibilite/PDU/index.htm ----- Original Message ----- From: "Morrier, Steve" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Wednesday, January 30, 2002 3:17 PM Subject: MI-L Date Stamp > This message is in MIME format.
