Julian,
        I don't know if it will help or not but I have written an .mbx which
allows you to select an object and copy it's fill pattern and line style to
multiple objects across tables. It simply a toolbar with two buttons on it
you select the object you want to copy from and hit "C" on the toolbar then
you select as many objects on the other table that you want to change and
press "P" which copies all the appropriate fills and linestyles over to the
selected objects. If it will help you let me know and I'll send you the .mbx
and the .mb so you can modify and recompile if you want to change anything.

Subject: MI-L Updating region fills from another table


Hello all,

I have an old table containing region objects with specific fill patterns
and colours that I need to transfer into a more recent file of the same data
(containing some additional objects). I have an ID column containing unique
ID's I can join on and my thought was to update the newer table with the
ObjectInfo(obj, 3) from the old table somehow. I have tried many ways to get
this to work and it just aint happening. AM I able to do this sort of thing
just using MapInfo Pro or do I have to write an MBX (hopefully not!) to do
this?

Hopefully that all made some kind of sense!

Thanks in advance!
