One of the best ways to force Mapinfo to recalculate the centroid (and place
it inside the region) is to use the ConvertToPline and then follow it by
using the ConvertToRegion commmand (under objects).  I use this a lot to fix
various problems when programmatically altering regions.

Subject: MI-L Centroids of objects


Hello,
      I ran into a problem while updating a column.  The wrong territory
value was being assigned to the object and I have figured it out that the
centroid is outside of the polygon.  Is there a way to check a file to see
if the centroid of a object is outside of the polygon for that object?  I
will have over 50 tables with as many as 3000 polygons in each table.  Is
there a way to update the columns without using a centroid based solution?

Thanks to All,
