I tried first of all to run a query that generated a column a second time as an alias, which worked see MBwindow text below (search help on Alias):\
Select Field1,Field2, Field3, Field4, Field5, Field6, Field7, Field1 "Different_Name_For_field1" from Mytable into _2_Names_for_Field1 Oddly enough this worked for the "Individual" thematic option, I could create a thematic map on the same field with different names. But both Field1 and the alias Different Name... didn't show up in the list to theme on dot density- quirky Another approach would be to add a column with a different but similar name, and run an update on it from the original column. That will work, but a little more bulky, but perhaps faster on a big file. Frankly I rarely use dot density so there maybe more issues I am not aware of. But give those 2 approaches a try William "Woody" Woodruff Zoning Administrator Charter Township of Union, Isabella County, Michigan -84.80947000 43.61095100 2010 S Lincoln Rd, Mt.

When I go into layer control, I see the thematic layer as the following naming convention "Dot Density with [Variable]...?" We believe the ? is a number representing the value of one dot. The problem is we can't see that number. MapInfo defaults the display name in the 'Layer Control' as "Dot Density with Employee_count" Therefore, it is difficult to read multiple dot density thematic maps off of the same variable in the same table in the same workspace. We need to see the display name for the examples below. Example: We are creating 2 thematic maps for Daytime Employee Counts. 1st theme = dot = 500 Employees, 2nd theme = dot = 1000 Employees We need to be able to decipher which theme is 500 or 1000 in the layer control. Any help would be greatly appreciated. ---------------------------------------------------------- Philip Lesnik Associate Analyst, Market Research General Growth Properties, Inc. 110 N.
