Hi Rex
1. I think the problem here is that the table, you are trying to geocode is not editable. Try to save a copy of the table into a Native table.
2. This will also be solved by saving a copy. IN fact, you can when opening an Excel file into MapInfo Pro, check the option to
Create copy in MapInfo format for read/write. You find this option at the bottom of the
Open dialog. This automatically saves a copy of the file in a Native tab file that allows you to edit the data.
3. Out of the box, there is only one way to do it: If the table can be found in the
Most Recent Used list in the
Open dropdown, you can hold down the
Shift key and click on the small
Browser icon to the left of the file name. I have described this in this article:
MapInfo Monday: Opening tables from the Most Recent Used List.
Alternatively, you can install the
WindowHelper app from the
MapInfo Marketplace. This tool will amongst other things add an extra browse button,
Floating Browser, to the
Table tab which allows you to open a table into a floating browser window.

Subject: Retain Values With Geocoding
I am trying to geocode a list of addresses which also have other information (e.g., name, business type). How do I retain the values for those fields from the input table rather than just the linking fields (address, city, state, zip)? Also, how is it possible to edit the information in a table created from an Excel file (prior to geocoding)? Finally, is it possible to directly open a browse window without first docking it? Thanks, Rex
