Using the Geocode Menu Option in Remote Tables - MapInfo_Pro - 2023

The Geocode command (located on the SPATIAL tab, in the Create group) is available for tables regardless of whether they are indexed. Neither the table nor a column in the table needs to be indexed for the Geocode command to be available.

If the selected column in the search table does not have an index, then clicking OK in the Geocode dialog box creates the index. For native tables and linked remote tables, this new index is permanent. For live remote tables and read-only native tables, the index is temporary.

Additional Notes

The Find and Geocode dialog boxes both contain the following design elements:

• Indexed tables and columns are shown with an asterisk at the end of their names in the Search Table and for Objects in Column drop-down lists. There is a reminder in each dialog box about what the asterisk means.
• The tables in the Search Table drop-down list are listed in alphabetical order.
• The width of the list boxes adjusts dynamically to fit the longest table or column name.
