It is always very dangerous to work with the cosmetic layer because it is
only defined as an unbounded long-lat and copying objects to it may cause
changes in the nodes coordinates.
There is a much simpler way to do it, just "save as" of selection with a
given name. If you look the trace of that operation in the mapbasic window,
it will look like
Commit Table Query5 As "D:\OD98\Carto\selo.TAB" TYPE NATIVE Charset
"WindowsLatin1"
The selection done by hand has been translated in QueryN (N will depend on
the number of previous queries).

Hi Guys...Sure you can save a manually selected set of items. Clear the
cosmetics layer, make your manual selection, copy the selection, paste into
cosmetics layer, then save it. A bit round about but it works; let me know
if your particular job won't allow that....

Hi Mick,
If the query is based on a SQL statement, the query can be saved in
the workspace. On the other hand, if the query is based on the user's
selection of elements, there is no way for the workspace to keep track of
the selection. So it can't be saved even if you give it a name.
If you want to actually save your manual selection, you have to find out
what condition will pinpoint the ones that interest you. Usually, you will
use the unique ID of the object and list them in the SQL statement:
Select * from <your_table> where ID in("001","323", "5435", "65313") into
My_selection
This way, the selection will be saved in the workspace. I'm aware that it
can be tedious to list more than ten items... in this case, you can use a
geographic component in your query, like a round buffer.
The secret is to be able to put words to your selection.
Good luck

I'm a little confused, why can't you save a named query selection in a
workspace?
Cheers
