Evan

I think I have worked out your problem
This is what I would do

Copy your point layer to the cosmetic layer make cosmetic editable
Select all point in the cosmetic layer and put a 150ft buffer around each
point
Save the cosmetic layer as a table eg 150ftbuffer.tab
NOTE the saved table will contain both buffer and point objs.
MI will open the new table for you
 
In the SQL select 

                Select Colums           *
                From Tables:            150ftbuffer, boundary
                Where Condition         150ftbuffer.Obj Intersects
boundary.Obj

You have the option of saving the SQL Query 
Helpful if you use the query a lot

Best of luck

        Hello all,
                I have what I think should be a simple SQL query that I need
to run,
        but I am not at all literate in SQL or MapBasic.  Please let me know
the
        quickest/easiest way to perform the following function in MapInfo.

                I have a point layer and a boundary layer.  The boundary
layer
        contains 2 different types of zones: IN and OUT.  I want to run a
query that
        will select all objects in the point layer where any part of an IN
zone AND
        any part of an OUT zone fall within a 150 feet radius of the object.
This
        sounds so simple to me, but I just don't know how to phrase this
correctly
        in SQL or MapBasic.  Thank you in advance for your assistance.
