Address Dictionary

FindAddress needs to know the location of the MapMarker Address Dictionary to find your
addresses. This information is contained in two places in the Windows Registry:

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\MAPINFO\MAPMARKER\USA\<

version number

>\

SYSTEM\DatabasePath

HKEY_CURRENT_USER\SOFTWARE\MAPINFO\MAPMARKER\USA

>\

SYSTEM\DatabasePath

L

In references to the MapMarker registry keys, shows the major-release
version of MapMarker, for example, 25.0 even if you are running one of the point releases of
that version, such as, 25.1

If you move the Address Dictionary at any time, be sure to update the new path information in either
of these places so that FindAddress works properly.

You can find addresses or street intersections from a customized user dictionary as well as from the
MapMarker Address Dictionary. See

Custom User Dictionaries in Chapter 9 on page 198

for

more information.

Append

Append is a utility program included in MapMarker that combines two or more MapInfo tables into a
new table or adds them to an existing table. These tables must have the same number of columns
and data types for each column. We recommend using Append for making one large MapInfo table
when creating MapMarker User Dictionaries.

Append runs from within MapInfo Professional as an add-on application. A series of dialogs are
displayed where you can specify the starting drive and directory of the search and select any
available options. Append.mbx is located in the mbx directory after installing MapMarker.
Append.mbx and iputil32.dll must be in the same directory.

Running Append

To run the Append program from within MapInfo:

1. In MapInfo Professional, select File > Run MapBasic Program. The Run MapBasic Program

dialog appears.

2. Select APPEND.MBX from the directory where MapMarker is installed.

3. Click OK. The DataKit menu is added to the menu bar.

4. Select DataKit > Append > Append Tables to display the Append Tables dialog.
