Hi.  I know how to use 'Alter object' and 'update..where rowid = x' to alter and update a single symbol.  And, if I want to update, e.g 1000, I could (and have) put this in a loop and no problemo.  However, the loop takes a long time when you're updating that many records, and I know there's a quicker way to do it (if I highlight all my symbols & ask Mapinfo to change there style attributes, it's done comparitivly quickly).  So how do I mimic this in my mapbasic app?  I'm trying this:
 
(The object that has the attributes I want to apply to my 1000 symbols is temp.obj
My 1000 symbols are on MyLater.)
 
Update MyLayer Set Obj = ObjectInfo(temp.obj,OBJ_INFO_SYMBOL)
 
Not surprisingly, it's not working.  I'm evidently missing a fairly large chunk of logic (and code), probably involving the Alter Object function???  Any suggestions?
 
TIA,
