Hi Steve We have a setup with thousands of TAB files where base layers are sometimes moved, deleted or renamed. I would love to test out this tool and a suggested improvement would be for the program to search for the same named TAB within the mapinfo tables directory and subdirs before offering the user a replacement table selection box if the table had been renamed.

It resloves the issue of not being able to open workspaces where tables no longer exist. The app automatically removes all references to the missing table and reorders all layers including shade and create legend commands for thematic maps. A new workspace file is created, so the original one remains intact The user is given an option to replace the references by locating the missing table manually. The code itself could be tidied up and I believe that it should work for all workspace files generated by MapInfo however further testing is required. I am not sure if I should publish it yet however if anyone here is interested in trialling out this tool give me a buzz. It only looks for and removes references of missing TAB files. Any references to other file types are not supported (ie .3TF files) - Steve Chan --------------------------------------------------------------------- List hosting provided by Directions Magazine | www.directionsmag.com | To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Message number: 13902
