Its been a while and a version or 2 back, but in general, I found that how ever you leave the workspace in MI Pro, is how it shows up with pro viewer. Your end users need to be opening workspaces, not tables, and a different workspace for each theme or purpose you want to deliver. I just tested to be sure and found that Workspaces also carry preferences with them. If you have users with different preferences then indicate that in the workspace name. For example, Road Map Metric.WOR, Road map Imperial.wor. While on the subject, if you want people to be able to use Find (Control F)on a particular field, then eliminate all the field indexes except the one field you want them to access, layer order also being important for what the cursor will label. Turn off selectivity for layers where its not needed. Queries left active in the workspace will regenerate when opened in ProView too, so you can let the workspace run special queries for you.

In recent installations of ProViewer some (BUT NOT ALL) use imperial (miles, inches) units for distance and scale and layout etc., even when the maps in workspaces are set to metric units - and inches to metres scaling is not something our users like!! In MapInfo it is possible to change the system settings to get around this problem. Does anyone please know if there is a way to do this with ProViewer, or why it does it on some PCs but not all??? All replies gratefully received. Will SUM. Thanks, Karen ________________________________________________________________________ This e-mail has been scanned for all viruses by Star Internet.
