Hi Christian!

This is a case where the command 'Create View' comes into use.
It's an obscure feature of MapInfo, little known but very handy.

RE: MI-L Has the "Create View" statement been dropped?

It's described in the MapBasic help file thus, with an example:

Creating a View Table

The example below is from a StreetPro TAB file for Delaware, NewCastle county. It performs a select statement from the view table by opening two other linked tables as hidden views to allow access to the attributes of those tables for geocoding, display, etc.

!Table
!Version 100
Open Table "denewcs1" Hide
Open Table "denewcs2" Hide
Create View denewcs as
Select Street,FromLeft,ToLeft,FromRight,ToRight,Class,Tiger_RefNum
>From denewcs2, denewcs1
Where denewcs2.MI_Refnum=denewcs1.MI_RefNum

Hope this helps.

Hälsning / Best regards Mats.E

[MI-L] Geocoding within MapInfo

I am trying to geocode a table within MapInfo and I am not having any luck. I am using ver 8.0 and I have two tables... one contains TIGER street files with columns for street name, FromRight, ToRight, FromLeft and ToLeft. The file I am trying to geocode has an address column with street number and name, city, state and ZIP. When I try to run the geocoding process, the only options I am getting are numbered street names like 59th St for and address like 5900 Main St.

The columns for FromRight, ToRight, FromLeft and ToLeft are of type integer.

Any suggestions?

TIA
