Thank you Eric! I am at least happy to know that I didn't do something
wrong. I would like to suggest that this "feature" be changed if
possible. This makes it difficult to show the beauty of hotlinked
aerials to people who might consider buying copies of MI Pro.

Steve and all,
I definitely remember the issue and
as I remember it, the answer was and still is that ProViewer does not
support
DDE. When you hotlink an item such as a tab file, it goes through
the registry association of that file type. With Proviewer as the only
MapInfo Professional variant installed, it will use the association
that
is stored at
HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\tabfile
The subkey shell\open\command does
the
actual launch. The subkey shell\open\ddeexec lists what should be sent
to the program as a DDE string if it is already running or after it is
launched. For MapInfo Professional, this is "Open Table "%1"
View Automatic" which creates the behavior that you want.
I don't know (I could find out, of
course)
if the Proviewer Installer puts this DDE in the key but I don't think
it
would make any difference as the Proviewer Application does not have
DDE
support.

Yeah, MapInfo used to have this problem too, and
Eric
Blasenheim told me a
workaround which I have since forgotten.
If he's reading MI-L these days, maybe he will chime in with the right
setting.

Now had a chance to set up program and files on another computer. Every
time
you click a hotlink to a DOQ it opens in another instance of PV??????
