product affected: MapBasic™, MapInfo Pro™
Issue
When running a Server Refresh on a Native TAB file in MapInfo Pro 12 an error is generated: "Cannot perform this operation on <TABLE_NAME>
Cause
MapInfo Pro 12 does not allow this on Native TAB files where previous versions of MapInfo Pro did. When used in a MapBasic application it can cause MapInfo Pro to crash so unless using a Linked DBMS table please remove the Server Refresh statement.
Resolution
UPDATED: December 4, 2019Remove the Server Refresh statement (it is redundant on Native TAB files)
