Yes. When you "Create Points" you are simply using the x-y *attributes* to create the point. After that, the point location information is in the graphic object. If you move points around and want to keep the x-y attributes synvhronized, you have to update those columns with CentroidX(obj) and CentroidY(obj). It won't happen automagically. _______________________________________________ MapInfo-L mailing list MapInfo-L@lists.directionsmag.com http://www.directionsmag.com/mailman/listinfo/mapinfo-l
