Mr. Elfstr�m and all, Well, I don't agree. This is a question of organizing your data. I've i.e. not put in the search path "H:\GIS\User" where my users (data producers - not plain users) can save copies of tables for their own temporary use. If they want to use one of their own tables then they'll have to browse to it by themselves. I don't see it as an argument for not using the search feature in MI.
However, I find it good if the user would be promted when there are several tables with the same name. The version question is a part of every GIS proffesional's reality and this should or could be dealt with with a feature like this. The important thing is that a user is provided with some metadata about the tables , so that he's able to take a well argumented descision. regards S�ren Breddam -----Oprindelig meddelelse----- Fra: Mats Elfstr�m [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sendt: 5. november 2004 10:52 Til: Peter Horsb�ll M�ller <PEM Cc: Dan Bowles; [EMAIL PROTECTED]; MapInfo-L; Stephen Chan Emne: RE: MI-L App that Resolves Workspaces with Missing Tables Hi All! I agree with Peter Horsb�ll M�ller. He wrote: "The problem might be that in some organisations there exists several versions of the same table with the same name. In this case I think the user might be better of picking the table by himself instead of MapInfo finding a table that might be the wrong one !" When MapInfo uses the search path in the settings it accepts the 'first' found tab file with the same name. There is no telling which one will be the 'first' found in the case Peter describes. This is an important thing to be aware of. Let's say that I use to create a manual legend as an non-earth tab file and that I use to call that legend.tab Then many of my projects will contain a legend.tab but each of course different from the other.
