Mapinfo info tool

[Iain Scott]

Im getting a problem where, after using mapinfo for half an hour or
so, the info window stops apearing when I use the info tool. Closing
Mapinfo and re-loading the same workspace dosnt cure the problem:
manually reopening each layer individually does. I cant reproduce this
error on demand, though it does happen fairly often.

Any ideas as to cause or a better cure?

regards,
IainScott

The problem is that you workspace tells MapInfo to place the Info window outside the screen.
Appearently someone else is using a bigger screen.

You can solve the problem by opening the MapBasic window (Options > Show MapBasic window)
and writing this followed by hitting the Enter key on your keyboard

Set Window Info Position (0,0)

Now put the info window where you would like it to be and save the workspace again.

Ian,

Open the map basic window and type in the following

Set window info position (1,1)

If the info window reappears in the upper left of your screen then the
problem is likely to be a) you are moving the info window 'out of view'
as part of your normal work
B) you have an app running that is moving the window
C) you have a 'display manager' running for your monitors

If it doesn't appear that sounds like a resources issue...check your
temp space..

Ps if the map basic text seems a bit like hard work there is a freebie
on the directions site called qikwintools that'll do it for you with a
click..
