I think the problem is that you don't have a DAT file but a TXT or XLS file. VM can not access these files. Solution: do a 'save copy as' from the file menu. MapInfo will then create a DAT fil instead of you TXT/XLS for your attribute data.
When working with VM your want your data to be 100% in the MapInfo TAB format. Also check you running 3.1 if you have a 3.0 license. Bug fix version 3.1 is a free download from MI.

At this stage, I think my best option is to import them as an ascii files or .xls, and then regrid it using one of the functions in Vertical Mapper, as I can't get the Minex grids into any of the formats supported by Mapinfo. However, when I set up the wizard to use the inverse distance method, it gives me the following error message when I try to proceed from the column select page: "Error in Mapinfo file Access Library. Extended error value: 1934" Could anyone help me out as to what this means and what I need to adjust to proceed. Thanks very much Agi Burra --------------------------------------------------------------------- List hosting provided by Directions Magazine | www.directionsmag.com | To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Message number: 14959
