Jory,

The first thing that comes to mind to check: make sure you didn't save the
bitmap as a 24-bit bitmap, or for that matter, anything more than a
256-color bitmap.  (From MS Paint, when you save, click File > Save As,
check out the Save As Type area at the bottom of the Save As dialog.)

Hope it helps,

Subject: MI thematic map/custom symbols


i created several small bmps to represent tower types.
this worked fine and showed up perfectly on my maps.
i needed to change one a bit, and when i replaced the one that was working
fine with the new one, it quit working altogether. now the style type
selecter in "modify thematic map" can't see the new one. i also experimented
with one of the symbols that came with mapinfo (i took it out of the folder,
confirmed that mapinfo couldn't see it, and replaced it) and now the style
type selecter can't see it.
has anyone else had this problem?
i have restarted the app and have hit the reload button just as the manual
and the help file instructs- both to no avail.
any guidance would be appreciated.

thank you.
jory
