Hi Mathieu, The highlight type is stored togetherwith the rest of the MapInfo Preferences in the MapInfow.prf. So to make another user on the same or a different computer use the same highlight styles as you have chosen, you'll need to give them your MapInfow.prf. And do remember to copy it to the right directory
You will find the MapInfow.prf file here: C:\Documents and Settings\<user>\Application Data\MapInfo\MapInfo\ where <user> should be replaced with you Windows username. This location is used if you are using MapInfo 6.5 or newer. If you have an older version the file will be located in the Windows directory. If you have a MapInfo 6.5 or newer you can use this trick to exactly find the location of the file: In MapInfo open the MapBasic window and enter this line followed by hitting ENTER on the keyboard: Print LocateFile$(0) HTH, Peter Horsb�ll M�ller GIS Developer Geographical Information & IT COWI A/S Odensevej 95 DK-5260 Odense S.
