Hello All, We have a Planning Applications and Land Charges system which is used by about 10 people simultaneously for editing certain key tables. We have a suite of mapbasic front-end applications developed by an external consulting firm. At present we experience a number of problems with users being locked out of the key MapInfo tables when committing changes. The code is actually written to allow users to open the tables, make edits locally, and then commit the changes in one go to the key table, thus preventing unsaved edit files and wholesale table-locking. Unfortunately, whilst this has helped to reduce the problem to a large degree, it has not eliminated it. Spatialware is an option being considered to permit record-locking on the table in an effort to solve the problem, however, with Spatialware only being deployed with Oracle, Informix and DB2 back-ends, it is not a favoured solution in our organisation where none of these are supported. A SQLserver back-end database would be acceptable. My question is that I can't believe that other local authorities or organisations are not using MapInfo in a similar way with success, has anybody out there had any similar problems, or do any developers have any previous experience of solving similar problems. Thanks in advance, Andrew Hayes GIS Analyst/Programmer Wakefield MDC > Web: http://www.wakefield.gov.uk/ E-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Tel: 01924-(30)5440 Fax: 01924-(30)5424 ---------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe from this list, send e-mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] and put "unsubscribe MAPINFO-L" in the message body, or contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
