All, I wonder if anyone has had the same problem as I am having.
I have got the frames on my layout to display the mapper window I want on the layout, but I am having a problem with the legend window I am trying to put into another frame on the same layout. When my mapbasic app has finished running, the legend is not displayed in the frame on the layout. If I double click on the frame that is supposed to contain the legend to bring up the frame object properties menu, it says in the Window drop down box that the frame is displaying the correct window. If I use the dropdown menu and select the legend again, when I click ok it displays the legend in the frame. Is there anyway to make MapInfo/MapBasic display the legend in the frame properly first time?

After you've altered the object you then update the table with the new object. Something like this: code starts -----> Dim sLayoutName As String Dim iRowID As Integer Dim oFrame As Object Dim iMapWinID As Integer Dim objAlias As Alias Dim aRowID as Alias '// get the map window ID '// open the workspace containing the layout window Run Application "o:\work\2005\test22.wor" '// get the table name of the last opened window - must be done immediately after the workspace is opened sLayoutName = WindowInfo(0, WIN_INFO_TABLE) '// set up some variables objAlias = sLayoutName + ".obj" aRowID = sLayoutName + ".ROWID" '// now loop round until end of table Fetch First From sLayoutName Do While Not EOT(sLayoutName) If ObjectInfo(objAlias, OBJ_INFO_TYPE) = OBJ_TYPE_FRAME Then ' yes we have a layout frame object oFrame = objAlias iRowID = aRowID Alter Object oFrame INFO OBJ_INFO_FRAMEWIN, iMapWinID Update sLayoutName Set Obj = oFrame Where ROWID = iRowID End If Fetch Next From sLayoutName Loop <---- code ends I'm not sure how you differentiate between the two layout frame objects?
