Hello Philip, This has been a long standing problem. I too often switch constantly between the map and layout windows and if there are several labels (particularly autolabel ones) MapInfo at times will freeze. I've come to the conclusion that the best way to avoid the freeze is to save my workspace regularly and wait a little longer for each of the map and layout windows to redraw completely before doing anything. I have noticed this behaviour has lessened in 7.8

[EMAIL PROTECTED] 14/04/2005 11:51 PM To [email protected] cc Subject MI-L MapInfo freezing (label problem?) Group, Can anyone help me out here. This has finally bugged us enough for me to ask this question. We have U.S. wide workspace templates set up with between 10 and 30 tables in each. I have a point layer with over 1600 points in the table. I have the labels turned on but, I limit it to display only 100 at a time. The problem is when we're rearranging the labels around for better visibility, going from the map view to the layout view, sometimes 5 to 10 times, back and forth. MapInfo freezes and you can't do anything until you close out our Citrix Server session. I thought limiting the labels to show only 100 at time would help the problem but, it seems like it hasn't done much to fix it. Thanks for any info. -------------------------------------------------------------------- Philip Lesnik Research Systems Analyst, Market Research General Growth Properties, Inc. 110 N.
