It is indeed possible to use MBWIndow-style MapBasic in a tab file as in a
WOR. Below is an example that includes a splash screen appearing for a set
number of seconds when the tab is open (I simply copied what I had prepared
as a wor for the launching of an application)
But as you can see this is not hard coding, i.e. anybody with a text editor
can wipe it out. There is no way known to me to inscribe such a feature in a
binary and irremovable form.

Hello
I have created a data set which needs to be accompanied by a disclaimer
notice when used in MapInfo. I suspect the answer to my questionis no but
thought I'd ask it anyway!
Is it possible through MapBasic or some other means to make a message box
pop up when this particular table is opened? I know that this is possible to
do in a workspace but sometimes the table will be required to be opened on
its own or into an existing workspace. Any ideas how to get round this will
be gratefully received.
Thanks
