Purpose
Runs a MapBasic application or adds a MapInfo workspace. You can issue this statement from the MapBasic window in MapInfo Pro.
Syntax
Run Application [ NoMRU ] file [ Mode default | Current ] file is the name of an application file or a workspace file.
Mode default opens the new workspace but would not prompt to close or save the currently open workspaces.
Mode Currrent opens the new workspace and prompts to close or save the currently open workspaces.
If the statement includes the NoMRU clause, the application or workspace name would not be added to the Most recently Used list of files.
Description
The Run Application statement runs a MapBasic application or loads an MapInfo workspace. By issuing a Run Application statement, one MapBasic application can run another application. To do so, the file parameter must represent the name of a compiled application file. The Run Application statement cannot run an uncompiled application. To halt an application launched by the Run Application statement, use the Terminate Application statement.
Example
The following statement runs the MapBasic application, REPORT.MBX:
Run Application "C:\MAPBASIC\APP\REPORT.MBX"The following statement loads the workspace, PARCELS.WOR:
Run Application "Parcels.wor" See Also:
