Combine Using Column Problem

Posted By Rex Edwards 11-07-2023 14:18
Found In Egroup: MapInfo Pro \ view thread
In previous versions, I was able to take a table of many zip codes and combine it into 3 regions based on a field that would total all of the numerical fields. Now, I keep getting an error "Unable to create index" which produces a table with no records or data, or it proceeds as previously but creates ...

The Return of the Embedded Legends

Found In Egroup: MapInfo Pro \ view thread
As with previous version, legends are now automatically embedded in the map window (even if no legend). Previously, Sync Windows would remove permanently but now it only works for a short time and then returns. Does the Tool need to be updated? Thanks ------------------------------ Rex Edwards Vice ...

Tools for v2023

Found In Egroup: MapInfo Pro \ view thread
I noticed that some tools needed to be re-loaded for MP23 and at least one is different (Window Helper used to have option to set window's dimension from the Home menu). Do I need to unload and re-load or do some of them need updating? Thanks ------------------------------ Rex Edwards CAMPBELL AVIATION ...

Is it possible to generate drivetime regions within Canada and/or between Canada and the U.S.?   How would it be accessed?  Thanks. ------------------------------ Rex Edwards CAMPBELL AVIATION GROUP Tysons Corner VA ------------------------------

Multi-Table Query

Found In Egroup: MapInfo Pro \ view thread
I know that this was asked previously but can't find the solution.  I often want to link a table of geo objects (e.g., zip codes) to another geo "boundary" table to select objects from the first table while also linking the first table to a third table to limit the selection (or also add column data).  ...

Yes - arbitrarily went from every online link starting with "DROPBOX (Company)" and changed to "Company DROPBOX".  Guess I could move files to local computer and recreate folder structure.  Thanks ------------------------------ Rex Edwards CAMPBELL AVIATION GROUP Tysons Corner VA ------------ ...

A recent (and unannounced or explained) change to how file are designated in my Dropbox account has ruined all of my many saved workspaces.  Other than editing the files with a text editor is there another option?  Thanks. ------------------------------ Rex Edwards CAMPBELL AVIATION GROUP Tysons ...

Drive Time Regions Limits

Found In Egroup: MapInfo Pro \ view thread
I have had issues with generating drive time regions for more than just a few table items (usually 10 or so).  It appears that I get a time out error.  Even as a workaround, there also are issues with appending the 10+ regions to the same table.  Is there a limit or way to get around (and would it be ...

Any plans to correct the change that now always inserts a legend in a window with every, requires you to re-edit to remove, and then leaves a box saying that there is no legend? ------------------------------ Rex Edwards CAMPBELL AVIATION GROUP Alexandria VA ------------------------------

I tried that.  It may be that I'm unusable in that I don't use the layout windows.  I did the following: - Opened workspace with no themes (and no legend box on map). - Added a dot map and selected "No Legend" in "Legend:  Into Window". - Legend window appears anyway with default title and information. ...

I was able to close map windows by restarting but it appears that sometimes the program gets in a state that requires restarting.  As to legends, don't know if defaulting to having a legend was part of an upgrade but it used to be that you had to add the legend.  After closing the legend, if a theme ...

Deleting Map Windows and Other Issues

Up until recently, I could delete existing map windows by clicking the upper right and it would be removed from Explorer.  The window closes but remains in Explorer and reappears when clicked.  The map windows were not created by me but rather opened directly from a query (which is also new).  Is there ...

This keeps happening (reverting back to default including commands and location) - could it somehow be related to auto-save? ------------------------------ Rex Edwards CAMPBELL AVIATION GROUP Alexandria VA ------------------------------

Is there any way to change the default that always shows the legend in a map window (which can be disabled by clicking "Show Legend for This Label")?  Also how can I disable the "No Active Legend" that appears in the Map Window (and any saved windows)? ------------------------------ Rex Edwards ...
