Further to Julian's and Michael's posts about workspace problems in version 
8.0, I've come across another:

I get a bunch of "No end quote on string constant" errors when trying to open a 
version 8.0 created workspace. 

Checking it with a text editor shows that after the "Open Table" statements, 
MapInfo is inserting "Add Column" statements and populating it with values from 
my table (Note that the column already exists and has these values!). In some 
instances, it has stuffed up the quotes as follows:

Add Column "Meekatharra_Project" (Expr1 Char (50)) Values
"P 51/1808
May 12","M 51/504
September 1","M 51/521
December 6","P 51/1764
July 7","P 51/1809
March 10","P 51/1808
Anyway, the point is, these "Add Column" statements are not necessary, were not 
present in previous versions of my workspace, and just add gobbly-gook to the 
workspace file.

Needless to say, until a patch is available from MapInfo, I have to manually 
delete these lines. Then my workspace opens as usual.

Regards,

Bill
