Thanks for the response, Bill. It seems that a picture is worth a lot 
more than I imagined. Business intelligence data collection is pretty 
traditional, but using GIS for visual reporting on a spatial data mine 
is a bullseye. Score!

I love the Case Studies page on the MapInfo.com website. Btw, it make me 
wonder why tech writers don't produce more case studies?  But that's 
another thread. ...

Thanks again for the link.
