sure can, you have to tweak the workspace. Open it up in WordPad, when you open workspaces to edit the open file dialog needs to be Of File type .txt, in the file name section replace *.txt with *.wor, hit ok, then the list of workspaces is available to you. Search and Replace the Table name, replace with the wording you want in layer control (alias). The first instance of the table name is to be ignored, that is in the Open Table section. The next occurrence is to be replaced, and all remaining occurrences. I tested this out on my Parcels Table in my Zoning.WOR workspace. I will have Parcels.TAB show up in layer control as Land, the lines replaced looked like this:
Open Table "Z:\MAPINFO\UNIONTWP\Parcels" As LAND Interactive Map From STRET_nm,CNTYRDTX,SECTNUMS,RIVERTXT,LAKETEXT,RIVERS, SECTCORN,LAKES,LAND,ROW Notum Beni - this name will also show up in all pull downs such as found in SQL, Find, Close Table, update etc. If you have saved queries with the table name instead of the alias they will not execute. For example "select * from Parcels" is a no go, "select* from Land" works William "Woody" Woodruff Zoning Administrator Charter Township of Union, Isabella County, Michigan -84.80947000 43.61095100 2010 S Lincoln Rd, Mt.

I am working with MapInfo Professional 7.0 and would like to know if it is possible to change the names of layers in the Layer Control. I am writing some MapBasic script to automatically create thematic maps but don't want to use the default thematic layer names.
