Thanks to all those who responded & basically solved the problem for me, especially Mats, Andrew & Jason. Just to summarise that it is as easy as having 2 layers with labels. The upper layer contains full labels but labels are turned off. The lower layer has partial labels & labels are turned off. It seems the uppermost layer that has labels will be the one shown when the mouse hovers over the object. The following portion of a screen dump shows how it looks in real life, and everyone is very happy with it. http://www.jodael.com/NewLabelMethodCivAnon.JPG Dave _______________________________________________ MapInfo-L mailing list [email protected] http://www.directionsmag.com/mailman/listinfo/mapinfo-l
