Uffe's solution worked perfectly for me. Thanks to all who responded. Brian

This is the name as it looks in the layer control, not the filename.

What am I setting the coordinates to - is it the table's coordinate system (UTM Zone 17 (NAD 83)? Also what is the format for the coordinate system when entered into MapBasic. Thanks again.

Remember to change the coordinate system first by calling "set coordsys table ......" in the mapbasic window. Regards Uffe Kousgaard ----- Original Message ----- From: "Cowper, Brian" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: <[email protected]> Sent: Tuesday, April 12, 2005 11:14 PM Subject: MI-L Points to Regions without Mapbasic I have a database that contains coordinates of 50,000 centroids that make up grid of 25m square cells. I've seen a solution from the archives that uses MapBasic to do this, however I don't have MapBasic. Is there any way I can do this without MapBasic. The squares have to be orientated to north to south, I tried to use the buffer command but they rotate 45 degrees.
