David, when you start to make a thematic map, the first dialog asks you to select a table and a field to thematicise. Scroll down the list of fields to the bottom, where you will find the word 'expression' select this and then click next. you are now given the standard mapinfo query builder, so in here you would write something like Mycolumn > 50 (to select all your regions where say a value was greater than 50)
from here on mapinfo will shade the map by the results of the expression you typed (in this case it would be "where Mycolmn > 50" and "where Mycolumn NOT > 50" hth r -----Original Message----- From: David Baker [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: 16 July 2004 14:19 To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: MI-L query inside a shade statement? Hello again Listers, I was wondering if it was possible to run a query inside a "shade" statement within mapbasic? I want to run a query, and shade the records = to a certain value with one style, and then all other records with another style. I hope that makes sense. It is a pretty huge file, so I don't want to have to create seperate tables for the two layers. Once again, thank you all for your help, David.
