wow, that was quick. the program is Append2 and written by [EMAIL PROTECTED], append2.mbx & append2.dll if someone wants to search for it. i didn't have to though as it was sent to me. (thanks tony)
oh, by the way, it werked freakin fantastically. opened the mbx, it immediately found the correct directory (who knows how), and within 30 seconds i had about 500 tables combined into 1. just wish i had the metadata sorted properly, but that's another job. ta dudes -----Original Message----- From: SCISOFT [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Tuesday, 11 May 2004 4:18 PM To: 'Simmonds, Ashley (OPT)'; ''Mapinfo List (E-mail) ' (E-mail)' Subject: RE: MI-L combine tables Ashley On the Directions site there is code to combine tables (TAB) if they all have the same structure (which I assume your busroutes would). I can't recall the MBX/MB name but could find it (if you can't).
