Create Map statement is failing

[Five Thumbs]

I am struggling to find the problem with the following code.  The program was originally created using MI 11 and runs without an error.  I am now running the code on the newest version and it fails on the Create Map statement.  The error indicates that the file I am trying to make mappable (ShortRoads_Agg100)  is not open.  However, when I check to see what tables are open, the file in question is there.   Any help would be appreciated.

 Create Table ShortRoads_Agg100 (AggCount Integer ) File FP_Wrking + "\ShortRoads_Agg100.TAB" Type Native Charset "WindowsLatin1"

Create Map for ShortRoads_Agg100    CoordSys Earth Projection 3, 62, "m", -96, 23, 20, 60, 0, 0 Bounds (-89717066.7319, -80920710.9208) (89717066.7319, 98513422.543)

Cheers!

I doubt the problem is to be found in those few lines of code.

I created a small MapBasic tool like this and ran it and it worked:

 

Dim FP_Wrking As String

 

FP_Wrking = "D:\1. Support"

 

Create Table ShortRoads_Agg100

     (AggCount Integer )

     File FP_Wrking + "\ShortRoads_Agg100.TAB"

     Type Native Charset "WindowsLatin1"

 

Create Map for ShortRoads_Agg100

     CoordSys Earth Projection 3, 62, "m", -96, 23, 20, 60, 0, 0 Bounds (-89717066.7319, -80920710.9208) (89717066.7319, 98513422.543)

 

Can you make this small tool work too?

You will have to change the path.

I discovered that if I simply re-type the line of code it then runs without a problem.  I think the problem was, I transferred the code between two devices using email.  There must be some hidden formatting, I think removed spaces, that were not detectable to the naked eye.  The program failed in a small number of other locations and re-typing the code fixed it.  Very strange, but true.
