Hi,
I'm using MI 7.5 on XP pro with SQL2k. I have a set of data from another GIS program which has X/Y coordinates as numeric float columns in a SQL database. The coordinates are in State Plane coordinates for the Montana 1927 Central Zone. I created the MAPINFO_CATALOG table, created an ODBC data source that points to the SQL database. When I choose the option to make the table mappable I select the proper connection, select XY coordinates, select the appropriate XLOC and YLOC columns, deselect the per row style, and select a projection with the state plane coordinates for Montana 1927.
When I select OK I get two errors:
1 Unable to download only the OBJECT from a DBMS table. Select an additional attribute column.
2 The table you have chosen cannot be made mappable. To be made mappable, a table must contain a spatial column, or at least two numeric columns.
The table has two numeric float columns with the XLOC/YLOC data, so I'm confused. When I look at the MAPINFO_MAPCATALOG table I see a new entry, but when I try to open the table all of the points are stacked in on location.
Any ideas what I'm doing wrong?
Thanks,
