Peter, Strange things happen in Mapinfo, and at the strangest of times...... A few hours after sending you the previous message, I had a prime example of what can go wrong: I had copied a filled-region onto the wrong layer, on top of some pre-existing text. - it looked fine on screen, but when I printed it out, the text appeared on top of the region ! Be Careful Out There. Rgds, Brian - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - Peter, There was a discussion about this some time ago, the conclusion seemed to be that the display-order within a layer was dependent upon a number of factors that are difficult/impossible to control. Put simply, you cannot control the display-order by simply drawing one object on top of another. I assume this hasn't changed in subsequent releases, a pain, but that's the way it is. Try searching on the Mapinfo-L site for "display order" as I've just done, Jacques Paris (who else!) hits the nail on the head in "RE: MI Obj order and the consequences in labelling..." Regards, Brian Forrester Edinburgh, Scotland [EMAIL PROTECTED] www.woodmac.com ---Orginal Message--- Hello there, Does anyone know how MI organizes polygons within a table (the layering). Is there a MI or MB way of controling the order or stacking of polygons within one table? Sorry if this question is trivial but I cannot find the answer. Thanks for any help.
