MAPBASIC
 
Alan,
 
Try including this in your code. 
 
include "mapbasic.def"
Dim sTabName as string
 
'if you just want the table name (i.e. "MyTable")
sTabName = tableinfo(<table identifier>,TAB_INFO_NAME)
 
'if you want the entire file path (i.e. "C:\Data\MyTable.tab")
sTabName = tableinfo(<table identifier>,TAB_INFO_TABFILE)
 
Look in the mapbasic help for more detail on what to substitute for <table identifier>.
 
Cheers,

Subject: [Mapinfo-l] MI-L Returning the name open files in MapInfo

Hello everyone,

 

Does anybody know how / whether it is possible to return the name of a file that is open in MapInfo as a string variable? What I need to do, is through MapBasic declare a variable as a string, then make that variable = the name of a file that is open in MapInfo.

 

Any thoughts gratefully received.

 

Regards

 

Alan Silvester
