Problem with paths to tables in MapInfo 2023, Windows 11

[Evgeny Kleiman]

Hello,

I have a project in MapBasic that is designed to work with tables, particularly uses OPEN TABLE and COMMIT TABLE statements. The last version of MapInfo that was in use was MapInfo 2019 and all worked fine. Now when I try to use the same code I get a number of problems with these statements. All MapInfo tables (*.tab,...) are found in the same directory as MBX-file that is executed.

 First of all on 

  OPEN TABLE "Table1",  

for example (that worked earlier) I get a message that this file does not exist, so I need to change it to

Open Table ApplicationDirectory$()& " Table1  .tab" as Table1

and this change is not required in all places but only in some of them.

There is another problem with COMMIT TABLE. When I use

Commit Table RoadsTable As "Table2"

for example  then the table is saved in C\Windows\System32 directory instead of current directory of the MBX- file as it was in previous version of MapInfo.

So I have questions:

1. Are there some warnings about such changes?

2. Is there a way to define in one place that I always want to open and commit tables in current directory (or other fixed directory)?

Thank you

Ok,  I think that I found an answer here: https://groups.google.com/g/mapinfo-l/c/DZq1Pce5u-s

It is written particularly :

Fully Qualified Paths

When creating new tables or files through MapBasic code, you need to specify a fully qualified file path.

We no longer allow you to create a table in the current directory by leaving out the path of the tab file.

Hi,

Yes, that is it.
It is less than one week ago, I updated the source code for ToolBox (https://www.routeware.dk/toolbox.php) for the same reason.

Kind regards
