Jason, >... but that's not ideal for routine maintenance. ... Oh yes it is ! Please forgive my pushiness, but I simply needed to post this mail to show that MapInfo Pro has a lot of (overlooked) potential. What you need to do is wrap the routine up as a workspace (a macro), and just run it once. This example uses a text file named "somename.txt" with 3 columns (ID, UtmEasting, UtmNorthing). E.g.: 1;521644.81;6265918.47 2;536402.8;6197048.43 3;450807.05;6179338.95 ....etc. The macro (i.e. workspace, e.g. "convert.wor") : !Workspace !Version 400 !Charset WindowsLatin1 Register Table "somename.txt" Type "ASCII" Delimiter ";" Charset "WindowsLatin1" Into "somename1.tab" Open Table "somename1.tab" As SomeName1 Create Map For SomeName1 Coordsys Earth Projection 8,...other UTM parameters... Set Coordsys Table SomeName1 Update SomeName1 Set OBJ = CreatePoint(Col2,Col3) Set Coordsys Earth Projection 1,0 'or whatever datum you're using Select Col1,CentroidX(obj)"ColX", CentroidY(obj)"ColY" From SomeName1 Into SomeSelName1 Export SomeSelName1 Into "somename1LL.txt" Type "ASCII" Charset "WindowsLatin1" Delimiter ";" Close Table SomeName1 And you can duplicate the set of commands to handle multiple point files from different projections in the same WOR.

I realize we can do a table\create points 20 separate times, once for each zone, but that's not ideal for routine maintenance.
