In workspace, which layer (by number) is which table?

[Nicholas G Lawrence]

Hi All,

 

I am trying to diagnose a mal-functioning workspace, there is a problem with the labelling in one of the layers

Variable or Field MR_soilgroup not defined

My suspicion is that the table has changed, and that column “MR_soilgroup” no longer exists.

But I am struggling to detect which table it is

The lines in the workspace only define the layer according to number, not name

  Layer 67

    Display Off

    Global Pen (1,2,8421376) Brush (148,8421376) Symbol (35,0,12) Line (1,2,0) Font ("Arial",0,9,0)

    Label Line None Position Center Font ("Arial",0,9,0) Pen (1,2,0)

      With MR_soilgroup

      Parallel On Auto Off Overlap Off Duplicates On Offset 2

      Visibility On

How do I figure out which table is Layer 67?

 

Alternatively, can I delete the Label arguments without harm?

And this is complicated by a lot of the layers sitting inside GroupLayers

Hi Nick,

firstly try  put some quotations marks around MR_soilgroup (eg " MR_soilgroup") in the workspace file, save and try to reopen. I have found that this sometimes tricks MAPINFo into thinking everything is OK and the workspace will open.

Also not sure how much mafunctioning is happening, does the workspace file open with that error right at the end or does the workspace "fall over" early and no maps, layouts etc opening up? If the workspace opens up "relatively good", you could open up the mapbasic window in MAPINFO and try selecting some layers and changing label style s(or anything  at all) and see what layer is mentioned in the mapbasic window. That could lead you to the offending layer and hence the offending table.

A couple of things to try.

Thanks

Hi Nick

Just replace the line
With MR_soilgroup
with
With col1

It will then open. Check if there is any labelling from that layer to fix afterwards.
