Your data may also contain graphic objects. Once you assign X and Y coordinates to your data records,

your table will also contain graphic objects. In Geocoding - Assigning Coordinates to Records, you

will learn how to assign X and Y coordinates to your data records so you can display them on a map. If

you already have graphic objects in your table, there are two more files associated with the table:

• <SOMEFILE>.MAP: This file describes the graphic objects.

• <SOMEFILE>.ID: This file is a cross reference file that links the data with the objects.

For a Microsoft Access table, there will be a file SOMEFILE.AID associated with the table instead of

SOMEFILE.ID. This file is a cross reference file that links the data with the objects for a Microsoft Access

table.

Your table may also include an index file. The index file allows you to search for map objects using the

Find command. If you want to locate an address, city, or state using the Find command, those fields

must be indexed in your table. The index is located in:

• <SOMEFILE>.IND

There is a two Giga Byte (2 GB) file limit on these files after which MapInfo Professional displays

an error message: "Cannot write database row. Possibly out of disk space. Out of disk space

Note:

while saving table [tableAlias] ..." If you see this message, check the file sizes and consider

reducing the amount of data you are saving.

Opening Your Data in MapInfo Professional

Using Local Data (Located on your Machine)

You can open your Excel (.XLS or .XLSX), dBase (.DBF), Microsoft Access (.MDB or .ACCDB), and

ASCII (.TXT) in MapInfo Professional and display that data on a map. There are three steps to

accomplishing this:

1. Creating a copy of your data in MapInfo format.

2. Creating points on a map using either coordinates in your data or by matching your data to a search

file (see When Do I Geocode vs. Create Points? for this process).

3. Display your data on the map (see How Do I Get My Data on the Map? to complete this process).

Using Remotely Located Data

If you are accessing your data remotely or use an ODBC supported database product, see Getting

Started for additional support.

For information about opening remotely located data, see Opening Data in Remote Tables. For

information about converting, displaying, and printing your data, see Understanding Your Data.

Using Introductory Data

If your copy of MapInfo Professional includes introductory data, you may want to install it now, as described

in the MapInfo Professional Install Guide. You can then view the sample data in MapInfo Professional

as a map while getting familiar with the features of this product.

• For more information, see Opening MapInfo Professional Introductory Data in the Help System.

MapInfo Professional Data File Support

You can open the following file types in MapInfo Professional on the File menu by pointing to Open:

• ACCDB – Microsoft Access 2007 or later files

• CSV – Comma Delimited files

• DBF – dBASE DBF files

• MDB – Microsoft Access files

• TAB – MapInfo .TAB files
