I need to programmatically set up hotlink configurations for several tables on a regular basis.

I can capture the proper Set Map statement from the Mapbasic window but it does not write the settings to metadata.

Is there a way in Mapbasic to trigger the "Save options to table metadata" option you get on the hotlink options menu?

Hey Jay

You may have to use the Metadata statement to write the settings to the TAB file using MapBasic.

Metadata Table table_name 
	{ SetKey key_name To key_value | 
		DropKey key_name [ Hierarchical ] | 
		SetTraverse starting_key_name [ Hierarchical ] 
		Into ID traverse_ID_var }
