Hi, can anybody share some pearls of wisdom with me about getting Mapbasic and Mapinfo to draw cartographic legends for 'query' tables (subsets). I want to cycle through a series of queries adding the results to a mapper, at the same time, adding a frame to a carto legend showing the object style and corresponding text from a specific field in th equery......So far i have managed to get legends with only object description text ie "Region", and not the expected field attribute, and object styles that bear no visual relation to the objects shown in the mapper (green regions in the legend, blue regions on the map). Legends created by MB/MI for the base tables appear to work, but as soon as i subset the table, i get nothing sensible.(the latter problem of mismatched object styles appears to be a platform issue, the same program running on win98 correctly displays the tile (and the text), but W2000 is a complete flunk)....at the moment i am tempted to go back to drawing legends by hand...
