Great ! Streange that has never been accessible from within MapBasic. I know that it was kind of accessible using MapX where you could be told which objecttype was dominant.
Uffe, do you have an example of how to access these information from MapBasic ? I guess it's pretty simeple if you have been working with binary files ?

MI-L Drawing Order Hi Mats, This information is stored in the .MAP file header. Look here: &H13C 4 1 Number of Symbol elements &H140 4 1 Number of Line elements &H144 4 1 Number of Region elements &H148 4 1 Number of Text elements These are hexadecimals adresses, so 13C = 316.

MI-L Drawing Order Another interesting research project is to find out how MapInfo determines the kind of table when deciding the layer order. As you all know, opening a mix of tables and simply load them into a mapper most often produces a reasonable order of points on top of regions and so on. There is no time to scan each table to find the predominant feature type, so I guess this in some way is an attribute of the table known beforehand.
