Resolve Workspace Tables (RWT) v0.92 is a Windows utility developed for use with MapInfo Professional. Created by Stephen Chan, the application enables users to open MapInfo workspace files even when referenced tables are missing or have been relocated.

Application Details

  • File Name: RWTv0.92 (SMUT).Zip (361.33 KB)
  • Author: Stephen Chan
  • Version: v0.92
  • Created: November 28, 2004
  • Modified: November 28, 2004
  • Supported GIS Platform: MapInfo Professional
  • Operating System Support: Windows

Purpose and Core Functionality

Workspace corruption or relocation issues commonly occur when underlying table files are deleted, renamed, or moved to different directories. In such cases, MapInfo may fail to open the workspace due to unresolved table references.

Resolve Workspace Tables addresses this by:

  • Removing references to tables that no longer exist
  • Searching user-defined directories to locate moved tables
  • Replacing outdated file paths with updated locations

This ensures continued access to workspace configurations without manual file editing.

Search and Replacement Capabilities

The application includes a directory search mechanism. Users must specify search directories in advance. Once configured, the tool scans those directories to identify tables matching missing references.

Available options include:

  • Perform Search: Executes lookup using predefined search directories
  • Use 1st Option: Automatically assigns the first matching table found
  • Use Only Option: Automatically assigns the only matching table found

These options streamline resolution workflows and reduce user intervention.

Batch Processing Support

The application has been extended to support batch operations, allowing multiple workspace files to be processed in a single run. This is particularly useful in enterprise environments managing large collections of project workspaces.

While the developer notes that some portions of the batch code require refinement, the tool reportedly performs reliably in most scenarios.

Practical Use Cases

Resolve Workspace Tables is especially valuable when:

  • Table files have been accidentally deleted
  • Project data has been migrated to a new directory structure
  • Network drive paths have changed
  • Archival workspaces need restoration

Instead of manually editing workspace files, users can rely on automated path correction and cleanup.

Download Information

  • Archive Name: RWTv0.92 (SMUT).Zip
