Hello Experts!

I'm genuinely asking about the possibility to save "Newly Added Temporary Column" as a permanent column in MapInfo

Maybe you all already know that, the usual way to update a column via another column (which is intersects in my case) it is through the Update Column feature as per picture below:

But the problem is I can't perform such task, and I kept found this error below

(2).png

So i've tried another way, and I use this one "add new temporary column" and it works

(3).png

And my question is, is that possible to save the table (TAB) file while maintaining this "newly added temporary column" as a permanent column?

Because i've tried and still can't save that temporary column permanently in the TAB file



Thanks in advance,


BR,
Zhafran

Hi

 

I don’t think that temporary column can be retained in any way.

If you save a copy, I still think it will be lost.

 

You can probably fix the error you get by packing your table.

The error is often seen when you are trying to update a table with deleted records.

 

There is another way to update a column in a table with values from a column in another table.

You may however run into the same error though.
