Description Box

This shows the folders and files in the selected location. You can also double-click a folder or file in that box to open it.

Places Bar

The four buttons on the MapInfo Places Bar are associated with the following directory preferences: Tables, Remote Tables, Import Files, and Workspaces. Pressing one of these buttons switches the current directory of the dialog box to the directory associated with the button.

By default, MapInfo Places Bar is always displayed, even on 98/NT40, where there is no standard Places Bar. On systems that support a standard Places Bar, a set of option buttons, labeled MapInfo Places and Standard Places, allows you to toggle between the two.

File name

Type or select the filename you want to rename. MapInfo Pro supports long filenames. This allows you to use up to 260 characters when naming your file. In addition, any one name within your directory path can be up to 255 characters. You can insert spaces in the filename and long filenames can have more than one "." in them. When using more than one ".", you must remember to type in the file extension in order to save the file correctly. For example you can name a table as follows: \\state\city.tab

Save as type

Choose MapInfo Pro, MapInfo Pro 2.x (save to MapInfo 2.0 or 2.1 format) or dBase DBF. When saving to dBase, the data file is saved to both DBF and MapInfo format. If you want only a DBF file, use the Export command (on the TABLE tab, in the Content group, click Export).

Navigation Buttons
