Would an external
database maybe be better for you? I perform, basically the same scenario
daily however, I do the extensive data management in an Access database
(changes, inserts and deletes). Makes it a bit easier to maintain customer
history tables and daily activity logs, both are also broght into
Mapinfo.
Naturally, I have to
refresh this customer database within Mapinfo if records are added or changed
but like you, I have some mapbasic apps to do this.

trying to write a program to copy a record in a row in one table and paste it
into a row in another table. Here’s my scenario. Each week I
update changes in a telephone customer database. I get a file from my Example: On a number change I
presently select the telephone in the new table, hit ctrl C, and then select the
telephone number field in the old table and hit ctrl
V. (A lot of repetitive key strokes)
The procedure I am striving for
would be; 1. Select the record in the first table, click on a pushbutton (to
copy the selection) Then 2. Select the record in the second table, click on
another pushbutton (to paste the copied record into the second
table) I can build the program to create
the button pads etc. But I can’t seem to find any MapBasic command that is
equivalent to “Copy & Paste” Can anyone give me the Map Basic
Commands or Statements that would be equivalent to “Copy and Paste” action in
MapInfo? Thanks, -- -- |
