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
