Tony, First of all I assume your database has X/Y coords in it? If so follow these steps:
1. Perform a normal connection via DMBS (ensure you incl. the X/Y cols). I always avoid live if possible and just refresh via mapbasic automatically or manually from the button when required. But this should still work on live anyhow. 2.Click [TOOLS]>[TOOL MANAGER] and load the DBMS Catalog program. Run the program and create a catalog file (at this point it is empty). 3.To attribute the map catalog file within your database (you just created it), click [TABLE]>[MAINTENANCE]>[Make DBMS Table Mappable]. The help button on this dialog will instruct you, but normally use XY Coords for spatial reference, the rest should be logical. 4.Now close all, and redo the original connection like in step 1, but this time hit on column filter and note that there will be an object column instead of the original X/Y cols available. Just make sure you include the object col, and you should be away and running.... I hope this works for you, Brad -- Brad Sharkey GIS/Mapping Contractor mob: 0438 805533 --------------------------------------------------------------------- List hosting provided by Directions Magazine | www.directionsmag.com | To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Message number: 18555
