Saving a Copy of Your Table as a New Table - MapInfo_Pro - 2023

You can create a new table from any open table that is not a raster table. The original table remains unchanged and open for all further edits.

To save a copy of your table as a new table:

1. Do one of the following:
   • If you have only one table open, then on the TABLE tab, in the Content group, click Save Table, and Save Copy As to open theSave Copy of Table As dialog box.
   • If you have several tables open, then on the HOME tab, in the File group, click Save Copy As to open the Save Copy As dialog box. Choose a table from the drop-down list.
2. Select the Save in Background check-box to execute the save operation in background.
   Note: This option is supported and selected by default for input table types Native, NativeX, OGR and GPKG and for output to Native and NativeX.
3. Choose Save to open the Save Copy of Table As dialog box.
4. Type the name of your new table in the File Name box.
5. Specify the directory where the new file is to be saved.
   Note: If the name of the file starts with a number, the table gets saved with a _ prefix before the name.
6. Click Save.

The new table does not open immediately after it is created, but it can be opened for use at any time using the Open commands on the HOME.
