MI Splitting polygons

[Graham Smith]

Hi everyone,   I have a MapInfo layer containing a large number of records. Most of the records are single geometric shapes (polygons), but some are comprised of geographically separate polygons that have been combined into a single record. I need to be able to split these combined polygons so that in the resulting table every record in the table represents a single geometric shape (polygon).   Does anyone know how this can be done automatically using mapbasic?  I know that it can be done interactively, by drawing a shape around a polygon in the cosmetic layer and using the "Split" command, but I have around 50,000 records in the table and it would take forever to do this manually. Is there some way of identifying from the .MAP file whether a record consists of more than one polygon?   Graham Smith [EMAIL PROTECTED]
