Here's a little trick that might help you with most of the errors.

1) Make layer editable
2) Select all objects
3) Set as target
4) Select all objects (again)
5) Execute OBJECT > OVERLAY_NODES from the menu

This has the effect of deleting any duplicate identical nodes in your
objects. Often times those overlaps are what cause the problem. Also, this
WILL NOT change actual shape of your objects, like clean may. If you have
many spatial errors in a polygon (self-intersecting lines, gaps, overlaps,
etc), even Overlay Nodes can cause a record to vanish, so inspect your
resulting data.

Hope this helps,

Subject: MI-L Objects> Check regions, and objects> clean problem

Hi. I am having a bit of trouble with MapInfo 7, build 26, and was wondering
if any of you could help?  When i run the objects> check regions, I get 322
overlays and gaps from 11525 rows.  However, when I try objects> clean, it
wipes half of the rows off from the map.  Is there any way of removing these
overlays and gaps without ruining my map?

Cheers

Neil
