Ethan, here's a trick I had already suggested a while ago: The solution may be labelling with a symbol: Make your symbols invisible with the override style option (Map>Layercontrol>Display), NOT by unchecking the visible option in the layer control! Label with an expression, consisting of a single character, and as font use one of MapInfos symbol fonts, eg the font MapInfo Transportation, and the expression "K" will show a bicycle on your map. Make sure the label anchor point has a different offset for each layer. This will only work if the symbols are part of different tables, but not in a thematic map. To find out which symbol is represented by which letter on your keyboard you may want to use a little utility programme which is part of the OS, called Charset or something (I only have a german WinNT, not sure about the english name. DOS name is Charmap.exe). Hope this helps, Cheers, Andreas > -----Urspr�ngliche Nachricht----- > Von: Ethan Hohneck [SMTP:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] > Gesendet am: Donnerstag, 27.
