Hi Russel, > in your example >>>> > ObjectGeography(xxx(1) , OBJ_GEO_MIN) throws a compile time error ... > <<<
A typo, it's entered correct in my code. And yes I do have the MapBasic.def included (always have). But just writing ObjectGeography(xxx,1) etc. makes no sense, since OBJ_GEO_MINX _is_ the value 1 (it's just a constant defined in MapBasic.def), and thus it's as it's always been, nothing new - which the manual suggests it is. It has to be something else. Best regards/Med venlig hilsen Lars V.
