A MapInfo Pro table consists of several component files. When you rename a table using the Rename Table command, MapInfo Pro automatically renames that table's component files. When you rename a table through the Windows File manager, you have to be sure that you rename all of the component files.
To rename a table:
- On the TABLE tab, in the Maintenance group, click Table, and Rename Table. A dialog box with a drop-down list of all open tables displays.
- Choose the table you want to rename from this list and click the Rename button.
- Type the new name into File Name.
- Choose the directory where you want to put your renamed table.
- Click OK.
Note: When you rename a table, any workspaces containing that table are affected. When you want to continue using those workspaces, you should edit the workspace file so that it uses the new table name. You can edit a workspace file in any text editor or word processor.
