This is a known bug. This is the right procedure:
- Just update one column with x-coordinates
- select 'Map-Options-projection' and choose a different projection (doesn't matter which one)
- press 'OK'
- choose 'projection' again and choose the British system
- press 'OK'
- again update column with x-coordinates
- you'll see that the column has the right coordinates in it
- also update the y-coordinate column and you're done

Learned Friends,A simple request, I just want to update two columns with the X and Y
coordinates of the object so that when I export the table I get one comma
delimited ASCII file with the attributes AND the coordinates of the object.I have used the CentroidX(obj) and CentroidY(obj) functions but they return
the Longitude and Latitude of the object and NOT the British National grid
coordinates in metres that the original MapInfo table is in.Any ideas.........?
