From my 13 years with MapInfo I have never done data or graphics alone [#1 and #2].
My thought would be that it would then wreck the ID link between the data and graphic rows.
I have always packed the the whole thing [#3]
I think I might have done that once but it would have been 12 1/2 yr ago


yes if you have deleted rows in your table and then create custom labels you labels with then be wrong.
RowID > Street Name
100 > Main St
101 > DELETED
102 > East St --- custom label here
103 > West St


AFTER PACKING
100 > Main St
101 > East St
102 > West St --- custom label still uses #102

Hi Philip,

Good question !

My guess is that you will have some problems with your labels if you use either 
1 or 3. I'm not sure if option 2 will have any influence on the labels.

What these options mean is :
1. Pack Tabular data: Packing the DAT file
2. Pack Graphic data: Packing the MAP file
3. Pack both: ...

The problem with your labels is caused be the fact that packing a table might 
reorganize the reocrds and completely remove the deleted records. And costum 
labels are connected to the table thru the ROWID, which might be changed during 
the packing of the table

Subject: MI-L Packing A Table


I understand that packing a table can corrupt custom labeling.  However, I see 
the options when packing a table appear,

1) Pack Tabular Data
2) Pack Graphic Data
3) Pack Both Types of Data


I can't find where it tells me what these 2 mean. Does choosing either number 1 or 2 stop the label corruption?
