My apologies for turning Jennifer into John!!! I was talking to one of my colleagues and ended up writing his name. Many thanks Paul and Jennifer.
Regards. Jaimini Paul/John I carefully followed your suggestions and it worked for me. Thanks guys! I have attached their suggestions below. Best regards. Jaimini To create custom symbols make sure that your symbol is has 256k colour depth or less. If it is set to 24-bit colour then the symbol will not show. The symbol has to 32x32 pixels or less and needs to be in the same directory as the other custom symbols. Probably :- C:\Program Files\MapInfo\Professional\CUSTSYMB I think this has changed in version 6.5 though Regards Paul Savage jdt Birmingham [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: > > Make sure you save them as 32X32 Pixels, also make sure they are saved as > 256 Color bitmaps.
