Hi Simon, Did you remember to issue the statement "Set Coordsys Table my_table" prior to running the "update table" ?

I have an excel table with 5 columns ID, X, Y, X_2, Y_2. I import it into MapInfo and then save copy it as a new table. I open the new table, set it mappable and set the projection correctly. The coordinates are in float format. I use the following MB statement to create the lines : update my_table set obj=createline(X, Y, X_2, Y_2) And then, nothing happens... Anyone got an idea?
