MapInfo Pro

Are there any issues to be mindful of when upgrading to v2023 from older versions e.g. 17, 15, etc, with regards to any data loss, such as customised styles, etc?

I am new to MapInfo Pro and have never gone through the upgrade process before, but I need to upgrade my colleagues to v2023.

Having searched the forum and noted the following, I assume there are unlikely to be issues, but I would be grateful for any feedback.

Many thanks

Hi Finlay

MapInfo always strongly supports backward compatibility with old table formats. Not sure what you mean about "customised styles" - you have more options now.

The article that you refer to highlights the issue of mixing 32-bit and 64-bit applications with Microsoft and MS Office. Best option (to avoid problems) is for MI Pro, Office and Windows to all be up-to-date 64-bit.

Cheers

Hi John

Thank you for the reassurance. Thankfully, the upgrade will now make MI consistent across all users with our 64-bit Microsoft system/apps.

Best regards

Hi Finlay,

I'm still running 32-bit office with the 64-bit MapInfo v2023 and have no issues.  Issues with this only arose early on when the MapInfo installation forced the 64-bit MS Office engine to be installed, which wasn't good if you wanted to retain your 32-bit office applications.  But the 2023 version does not create this issue.

It sounds like 32/64 bit differences don't apply to you though.
