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 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:
Provides a space for you to type the name of the file. You can use * as a wildcard. For example, you can type *.* to see a list of all files. You can also type the full path of a file. For example, you can type C:\MYMAPS\STATES.TAB. Or, if you have used a long filename, you might type C:\mymaps\State of New York.
Files of type:
This is useful for narrowing the list of files displayed to only those files you are interested in. The tables that display are tables in MapInfo format or non-MapInfo files that have previously been opened in MapInfo Pro. Select the file format of the file you want to open or select workspace (*.wor) to open a workspace.
