There is a MI tool that does not appear in the tool bars and that may be the
answer to your question. It is defined in the menu.def file as
Define M_TOOLS_SEARCH_POLYGON 1733
It allows you to draw a polygon and use it as the basis to your search
(different from the polygon search tool that requires a predefined object).
To use it run from the MapBasic window
alter buttonpad id 3 add toolbutton calling 1733
and it will be added to the tools pad.

Subject: MI Selecting a specific area
I would like to be able to select a specific area by geographical
coordinates
from a data set. The problem that I have is that there does not seem to be
any coordinate information in the mapinfo tables for me to select by. What
I
have been doing is making a copy of the entire table, then deleting all the
areas that I don't want. As you can imagine this is somewhat of a time
consuming way of doing things, and I am thinking there must be a better way
to
do this.
Can anyone help me?
