RE: MI maximum qty of points
Martin, Don't know if you got a response to this yet, but from what I gathered of your e-mail, you mean that your graphical points form a straight line. I would imagine that this occurred in the rounding or dropping of decimal points in the coordinates that you are using.

Is a file with 150 000 points too big for MI 5.0 ? Is there a max limit ?

RE: MI saving workspaces
Natalie, Regarding the following e-mail and responses, I would recommend that in the text file editing process you include the word "interactive" at the end of each open file command at the beginning of your workspace file. That way, Mapinfo will prompt you to point to the correct file upon opening. Hope this info helps!

From time to time I have to take workspace files from my PC to another in the department which is hooked to the big plotter (yes, it should be networked, but that's another story...) I save all the files to disk (you would save them to the cd) then I manually edit the .wor file in Notepad, changing the directory addresses. That should work well for you. The problem here is you don't know what drive letter the other person's CD is (not always "D"). For instance, mine is "S".

RE: MI Minding Your Business with MapInfo
Gareth, Yes, I bought the book. I found that it was not technically oriented at all. Really was just a very broad look at GIS and what you can do with it. Didn't really explain the concepts of GIS, nor was it imaginative in its discussion of MI/GIS capabilities.

If so what were your requirements - did it fulfil them - i.e. is it worth the purchase?

RE: MI Access 2000 bug
John, You don't have to write code to export to .dbf format. Mapinfo 5.0 allows you to save to .dbf file format under the TABLE/EXPORT function. Hope this info can save you at least a bit of heartache.

I'm still running version 5.0. Does anyone know if v5.5 can create tables in Access 2000? If not, then this note serves as a warning to fellow mappers and a call to action on the part of MapInfo to fix this. For the moment, I'm going to have to rewrite a lot of code to export to DBF and then import to Access manually. :( John Hollingsworth [EMAIL PROTECTED] The Buxton Company 817.332.3681 -- To unsubscribe from this list, send e-mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] and put "unsubscribe MAPINFO-L" in the message body, or contact [EMAIL PROTECTED] -- To unsubscribe from this list, send e-mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] and put "unsubscribe MAPINFO-L" in the message body, or contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
