MI: Running Proviewer on computers without MapInfo installed

[Frontier Mapping Pty Ltd]

Can you run Proviewer on computers 
without MapInfo installed? And if I use a non-standard font, would I 
have to include the font file with the Proviewer package when I distribute it to 
clients? Thank you,

MI MB: Turning of zoom/resize/pan etc of map window

[Frontier Mapping Pty Ltd]

Hi,

Is there any way you can disable the 
pan/zoom functions for a particular map window? I'd also like to prevent 
the user from resizing the map window. (I'm setting up title boxes etc and 
want them to be standard) I've found you can turn AutoScrolling etc off 
using the Set Map function, but I was thinking more along the lines of disabling 
the zoom/hand toolbar buttons when a designated map window was 
active.

Ta,

Michelle

 I've found that if you do a

 Select * from xTable where rowid = y,

 you can then use

 xData = selection.data_column,

 though this does seem a long winded way of going about things, and it
 assumes that you now the rowid of the record you're trying to select.

 I'm having a similar problem with columns, ie
[tablename].[stringvariable].
 I've also tried [tablename].[alias] but can't get that to work either.
What
 are we missing?  Can anyone out there help?

  I'm trying to do the following:
 
  --
 
   dim xTable as string
   dim xData as integer
 
   xTable = 'table_name'
 
   fetch first from xTable
 
   xData = xTable.data_column
 
  --
 
  I'm using xTable as a string because the actual table name is specifed
by
 the user and is not known at compile time.
  The error i get from mapbasic compiler is s helpful - Unrecognized
 command: ..
 
  I'm guess MI doesn't like the fact that i'm trying [string
 variable].[column name] instead of [table].[column name]
 
  So how do i get around this assuming that i dont know the table name at
 compile time?
 
  TIA

MI MAPBASIC: Putting inside strings, eg string = Press Push

[Frontier Mapping Pty Ltd]

Hi,

I have a program that only exports files to 
NonEarth (it's a bug in their software) I'm trying to write a MB app that 
will read in their MIF file, replace with an appropriate projection and then 
import into Mapinfo. However the string that defines the projection has 
"m" within it, ie the inverted comma's need to be part of the string. I've 
tried ""m"" but that doesn't work. I KNOW theirs a way of doing this, 
but how? (the rest works fine!)

Help appreciated,

Thanks, Michelle, Melbourne,
