Product Feature: Data Access
Issue
When opening up a MapInfo .mws file in MapXtreme Workspace Manager, we see the following error:
Error loading workspace: Unable to open table.: Unable to create Seamless table. File {sample_filename} .mws may not be a valid workspace.
Error loading workspace: Unable to open table.: Unable to create Seamless table. File {sample_filename} .mws may not be a valid workspace.
Cause
The .MWS file being referenced contains a MapInfo .tab seamless table.
This seamless table is preventing the .MWS from opening properly due to paths listed in the seamless table not referencing proper .tab locations.

Resolution
UPDATED: October 20, 2017To resolve this issue, follow these instructions:
- Open up the .WMS in MapInfo Professional.
- Turn the Seamless Layers "OFF" and browse the data in the Seamless Tables.
- Ensure that the paths referenced in the Seamless Table points to the appropriate table locations.
- Update the Seamless Tables as necessary to ensure that the paths are set properly.
- Once the Seamless Table is fixed, save the changes and reupload the .MWS to MXT Workspace Manager.
