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"

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.
