Wauw, this was new information to me. Never actually thought about how this information was stored before, and I never imagined that there would be a limit to the number of possible styles per table.
Uffe, would you know if the style for regions (Pen+Brush) is stored as a single style or as two separate styles in the resource block ? If the later then you could actually only have 127 different region styles, if they vary in both pen and brush. This also explains why MapInfo very fast can figure out the styles used in a table ! What other information is stored in this resource block ? Is there some way to get the information from the resource block ?

So if you ever try to create more than 255 styles in the same table, you should run into problems. If anyone has tried this, it would be interesting to hear about it.

In MapInfo tables, each object has its own styles. The styles are stored in the .MAP file with each object.
