Can some please guide me how can i make automated Tabs in Mapinfo.
I mean to say that I don't want to create new vector TAB every time a new site is launched or some modification is done in existing sites.
Is there some way I can add new site or modify parameters of existing sites in the already created vector TAB??

Hi man,

First of all you need to make your table editable. After that open it in a browser info. Then you can modify anything you need there - however some of the fields used for geocoding will be modified but the changes will not be visible on map (lat, long, azimuth, beamwidth). As well new sites will not be visible on the map if you simple enter the info in a browser. If you intend to change data that needs geocoding you need to edit the file from which you create the tab and then re-import it. Alternatively - get Mapbasic knowledge - makes life much easier.
