John,
I can see a couple of things here.
1) The Create Ellipse statement will not work on a values clause as it is
not a function per se.
You need to Dim an Object Variable and then put the ellipse into this
variable. Then use the variable to insert into the table.
2) The columns being inserted must match the values lists
I would say you need something like:-
Dim oEllipse as Object
Create Ellipse into Variable oEllipse
((X2, Y2), (X3, Y3)
Insert Into OdysseyCells (Col1,col2,col3,col4,col5,col6,Obj)
Values ( B, C, D, E, F, G,oEllipse)
Also remember that you have to use the create map statement after the create
table statement to create the files to hold objects.
I hope this helps
Regards
Martin
