Michel
I was interested in your comment that mixing polygons and points
in the same table is not either a good idea, and is even forbidden in
Arcview.
A major factor in choosing Mapinfo for us, was that it DOES have the
flexibility
to store points, lines, polygons and text objects in the same database....
AND to have a variety of symbols, linestyles and fills to depict 'types' of
record.
Hopefully, Gilbert has a solution to his 'create points' problem by now.
Perhaps you could comment or discuss with other listers on this issue??.
