hi, sometime ago i asked if it was possible to determine the number of features within a tab file by directly reading the .data or .map file. somebody kindly supplied the following code
Open File strMapFile for binary as #1 ByteOrder LowHigh Get #1, 317, nPoints ' nPoints etc are integer variables Get #1, 321, nLines ' plines + lines + arcs Get #1, 325, nRegions ' regions + rects + ellipses Get #1, 329, nText however, this only seems to work within MapBasic. I am trying to do the same thing in VBA but to no avail. Does anybody have any idea what the problem could be?
