MI Re: Open Table Interactive confusion

2000-08-25 Thread peterelphick

If you put "Interactive"after the mapbasic "Open Table" statement then if it
does not find the table, it will throw up the open table dialog to find the
table. If you omit "Interactive" and it does not find the table it will
generate an error.

 Hello All,

 Could anyone explain to me the logic behind the usage of the
 "Interactive" keyword in the "Open Table" statement?  It seems that MI
 decides randomly whether to place the "Interactive" keyword at the end of
 that statement.  It would seem to me that it should put it on ALL open
table
 statements, but this is just not the case.

 Any ideas?

MI puts interactive only after the tables that are not in the same directory
as the wor when it is created. That creates an inequality in the treatment
of the tables open by a wor. If it does not find the table where it should
be located, without interactive it will be an error; with it, an "open file
requester" is displayed to specify its directory.

I have written WorInter.mbx that will add "interactive" to every open table
statement to avoid that trouble later on. Available on our site free.
