Hi Russell, What version of MapInfo, Access and Windows are you running? Do you have MapBasic? Without knowing the exact details, here is one suggestion:
- Depending on what version of MapInfo you are using, you may be able to use hotlinks on your objects pointing to an Access database which automatically generates a report. -----Original Message----- From: Lawley, Russell S [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Tuesday, March 12, 2002 5:20 AM To: '[EMAIL PROTECTED]' Subject: MI-L Microsoft access and mapinfo Hi, I need some advice. I need a simple and fool proof way of interactively using Mapinfo and MS access. I can think of several ways of doing what i want (click on a mapinfo map object, up pops an access form with my data), but I am also aware that there are right and wrong ways of going about this, particularly with the range of access, mapinfo and windows versions flying around at the moment. The last Mapinfo-Access tool i write was over 4 years ago (and it certainly doesnt want to work now). If any of you can can give me some advice on simple coding and 'pitfalls' i'd be very grateful.. will sum regards Russell Lawley British Geoogical Survey ********************************************************************* This e-mail message, and any files transmitted with it, are confidential and intended solely for the use of the addressee.
