Hi John, MapInfo has a built-in ability to export. Try this mapbasic command:
Export "tablename" Into "tablename.csv" Type "ASCII" Delimiter "," CharSet "WindowsLatin1" Titles where tablename is the name of your table (but you need keep the quotes in the above command). MapInfo by default puts the ".txt" extention in when you run it from the menu but you can fool it into a .csv when you run it from a command.

I've written an application to export the data, but I need MapInfo to call this executable when a user clicks on a menu item in MapInfo. You'll have to forgive me as I'm not very familiar with the application - I've only just seen it for the past couple of days. Could anyone please tell me the easiest way to get MapInfo to either: 1. Call my application to export the data, or: 2. Export the data automatically to a specified file.
