Hi Martin I just did a File -> Save Copy as... Now I've done a File -> Save Query -> Save as
and my table is a map again! You are right on the Foxpro angle. The route-ESU table can be built up manually inmy FP app, by assigning ESUs to routes. Thus when I enter the MI app, I need to make sure any updates from the FP side were being carried over. So I was being dumb and just overwriting my MI-side version with the FP-side, thus, with FP having no graphics, destroying the objects. Then I found I didn't know how to get them back! Anyway, now I can just rename my newly created map to the ruined one and I should be OK Thanks a lot, and thanks again to Peter and Spenser for their extra offerings Terry -----Original Message----- From: Martin A Spiers [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: 31 August 2005 13:46 To: Terry McDonnell Subject: RE: MI-L How to geocode table with no obvious x/y If you save the results of the query as a new table, the graphics should still be there when its reopened. I don't keep copies of the Mapinfo-L emails and the Directionsmag site seems to be down, but I seem to remember in your original query the mention of some use of FoxPro. My guess is that whatever happens in FoxPro deletes the graphics. If the query was within a workspace, then the mappable table would be regenerated every time the workspace was opened. This may provide a workaround to keep the foxpro (data) and mapinfo (graphical) parts seperate.
