About 2 weeks ago, Richard Greenwood and Chris Perry offered some ideas on this.
Richard discribed
the Create View. I know someone else had mentioned the use of View, so I thought I
would try it out.
To reiterate:
create a text file and save as (for example) join.TAB:
!Table
!Version 400
Open Table "D:\mapfiles\table1.tab"
Open Table "D:\mapfiles\table2.tab"
Create View Tabjoin as
Select *
>From Table1,Table2
Where Table1.Parcel_ID = Table2.Parcel_ID
However, the results are weird. When you open join.TAB, it maps all the parcels from
table1. The browser
for join.TAB shows the parcel info for the common parcels as well as greyed out
records (similar to a
deleted record) - the same number of grey records as un-joined records in both base
tables. For example,
if both base tables have 10 records, of which 7 are matched, the join.TAB browser will
have 14 lines: 7
with info, 7 greyed.
When you select a parcel in the browser for table2, it does not show a selection on
the map. As well, the
map shows all the parcels from table1. When you select a greyed record, it shows as a
selection in both
the map and the table1 browser. (We use MI 4.1.2)
Very interesting way to spend a Friday afternoon, but not very useful.
Anyone else want to weigh in on this?
