Mr. Elliot, These may all be fine tools but I thought I would point out, as I seem to once a year or more, that in many cases you don't really need to do anything at all with the workspaces if you don't want to. You can go into the Directory Preferences (under Options, Preferences) and in the bottom pane add one or more directories (with the new drive letter) where the tables should be found.
When MapInfo Professional opens the workspace, it will try to find the TAB file in the specified old drive letter, but when that fails, without you being prompted, the search path will be searched for those tables, recursively, in the order specified. The tables are usually opened without any change from you. In some cases, if your disk is large, this might slow things down a bit although NT, XP, etc., cache much directory information. If this is true, then after the workspace was successfully opened, save it again. The newly found paths (on the new drive) will be automatically written to the workspace. The only downside I know of this method is that if your data tables are constantly named the same but in different folders, then we will not be able to distinguish between them. In that case, you have to point specifically to the location of the correct tables by editing the workspaces.

Is there a utility that would enable me to rename the drive letter in all my workspaces. I seem to recall seeing this mentioned on the list some time ago. Regards to all, John John Elliot Anzeco Pty.
