Hi,

I'm new to MapInfo & trying to re-geo code a list of POI's I was given that had 
inaccurate geo-references. The file was in CSV format.

I opened the CSV file in MapInfo, created points using the incorrect X,Y's to 
view these points against my background map (of Dublin, Ireland). I then made 
the layer editable and where necessary dragged the points to their correct 
location.

I then saved the layer, and exported it as a MIF file. I then re-imported the 
MIF file to check that points I'd moved where in their new correct location. 
They were.

BUT the data in the X,Y column in the attribute table of the still holds the 
original incorrect value. I know I have to use the Table / GeoCode dialog box, 
to update this, but I can't figure out how.

Can anyone suggest a decent on-line guide, I guess a little knowledge is a 
dangerous thing.

I'm using MapInfo Prof 7.5

Thanks, Hugh.
