Jacques,
I just started playing with this today and had the same error you
had. However, I only experienced it when I accessed the hidden layout table
through the MapBasic window. After playing around with the hidden layout
table I found that the error is displayed when the tab_info_tabfile option
of the tableinfo function is called.
Attached is a small MB program I wrote that fetches each object in
the first layout and returns information about it. If the object is a text
object, then the text string is returned. If the object is a frame object,
then the name of the window it references is printed. This program was just
a test to see how the hidden tables worked. Reply if you have any
questions.
So far as I can tell, there are no adverse effects from the "File #0
not registered for access" error message.
Hope this helps,

Subject: MI selecting in a layout
MapBasic help states under "Table Fundamentals"
>>Similarly, each Layout window can be treated as a table. The following
statement selects all objects from a Layout window:
Select * From Layout1 <<
If I do just that from the mapBasic window, I get a note "File #0 not
registered for access".
I have not tried it in the mbx format. I would not dare to do it yet until
someone kindly tells me what I am doing wrong, or rather not doing, because
it is the only statement I write after setting up a layout window.
MB 5 (was doing it on 4.5)
TIA
Jacques Paris
