I am unclear on the ability of MI/MapX to store attribute data in a remote
database.  When you use "File save as" and select a MDB or dbf file, no dat file
is created.  When you open a DBMS table into MapInfo, MI makes a .dat file.

So, can you attach to a table in another database without creating a copy of the
attribute data locally, or is that only a "save as" option?  Can you ever have
the attributes to a polygon layer in, say, SQL Anywhere and have the map objects
in MI?
