Re: Hotlink tool in MI v6

Hi Jolanda, Thank you for your question. I have had similar inquiries about Hotlink. On other PC's though, running on W95/98 clicking on the hotlink tool opens a NEW MapInfo session. I tried it on W98Japanese and it opened a workspace WITHIN session. So it does not look dependent on OS,

RE: MI Oracle and MapInfo - Map/nHand?

I'm a bit rusty on MI Pro, and I'm having a minor problem, which I think you more regular users should easily be able to help me with. I'm trying to show some colleagues the basics of MI, and they have some appropriate data in an Excel file that they thought would be a good starting point.

Re: Hotlink tool in MI v6

Hello This isn't really a Mapinfo question more a data question. I want to get hold of a map of the world which I can bring into Mapinfo that is in Peter's projection. A friend mentioned it at the weekend and said how different things appear in this map, she's a teacher so I had to agree.

Re: MI Clip Regions in v 5.5, Rectangle property errors

The Clip Regions feature of MI Pro has been extensively changed and improved for MI Pro 6.0. The problems that existed with Clip Region in MI Pro 5.5 have been eliminated. The Clip Region functionality in MI Pro 5.5 and prior versions essentially did an Erase Outside operation. In MI Pro 5.5,

Stuart, Roughly how far apart are the 2 calculations? It's been quite a while since I used any Census/TIGER data, but as memory serves, the TIGER/Line data was pretty rough - i.e. the lines were "trimmed" to minimize the number of points, and as such, could make for some "rough" calculations
