Hi All, I'd just like to thank once again the suggestions for dealing with the MapInfo MapBasic window and possible workarounds. Suggestions were that I explore using VBA that would be available through MS Office like Excel (Spencer Simpson), to look into the Express Version of VB at Microsoft which is free (Dean McGowan and Trey Pattillo), and using ScriptBuilder which is also free (Trey Pattillo). All good advice.
I had an old version of ScriptBuilder (version 1.0) and never really thought of it. Due to the restrictions on downloading here at work, I decided to try my older version. With some examples provided by Trey, I'm on my way. I haven't had a lot of time to explore it fully and to really focus on it, but I can see now a lot of things I can try to automate for myself. My VB skills are just enough to get by on since I haven't used it much school (reason: lack of opportunity), but it's all coming back now. I missed it. I can see it now, my wife telling me to stop playing around making silly little games and apps and to cut the grass. 8-) I'll explore the other options (VBA and VB Express) when I have the time, need, or desire. Right now, I just want to get some stuff done so I can go outside to do some GPS work...I really do need the exercise. Thanks for the help. _________________________ Don Mitchell GIS Technician (IMS) City of St.Thomas _______________________________________________ MapInfo-L mailing list [email protected] http://www.directionsmag.com/mailman/listinfo/mapinfo-l
