Try this:
1. Start by making a copy of your table as you will be replacing the exising objects
with the buffer
2. Open the copy
3. In the MapBasic window write the following followed by ENTER:
Update MYTABLE Set OBJ = Buffer(OBJ, 12, 0.25, "miles")
Replace MYTABLE with the name of your table
12 is the resolution of your buffer indicating the number of nodes in a circle

Subject: MI-L Question about Buffers
Is it possible to create buffers around a number of points so that the
buffer polygons retain the point data? Specifically, I have geocoded a
number of bank branches. I want to create a .25 mile buffer around
each. I want these buffer polygons to have the data associated with the
point from which they were created. The buffers I have created appear
to be empty polygons. Any ideas would be appreciated.
