  • 1.  Where can I get information on MapBasic language statements that I can use in the MapBasic window?

    The MapBasic documentation is one source of information. The documentation is available from our Web site here.

    You will also find it with the MapInfo Pro install files in the \Documentation folder.

    Quick tip: A handy way to identify the relevant MapBasic command for a particular function is to pop open the MapBasic window and then run the function. For example, open a Workspace or run a SQL Select and watch the commands that are reflected in the MapBasic window - it's like lifting the hood and watching the engine run on your car. Then the documentation Tom linked gives the explanation of the syntax for each function.
