Hey john, Open your .wor file in a text editor and see where your path for each table are going. If you create the same directory structure on your new machine as the old PC you had it will re-open with out any problems. Also, if your working a specific project and you are not using a lot of shared tables on your system just save the workspace in the directory where your files are located, then if you transfer them to another machine path names won't be as much of a problem, also the best way to have data runing off a CD.

I just transferred all my data etc to a newer computer and have run into a pathing problem with my files when I open up a workspace. When I attempt to open a workspace, MapInfo (V7.5) wants me to indicate where certain files are. Now not all of my files are in the same directory, but rather are filled by project designations. Is there an easy or less time consuming method to re-establish the workspaces rather than going through each one and pointing to each file and re-saving the workspace? If all the required files are present, why can't MapInfo seek and acquire the files itself? Any comments would be appreciated.
