Thanks for all the advice - I've tried everything but it still doesnt work - I've saved a copy of the table as British Coordinate systems (British national Grid). I've then opened the table and gone to create points, check that the projection is BCS and BNG but the points still appear as one point.
This is a sample of the table: ID CMF GR East North 1 clockface sj537916 353700 391600 2 Fairchilds farm sj480908 348000 390800 3 Hopyards sj651758 365100 375800 I only have about 30 points to plot - is is possible to do it manually in MI?
