I missed the original post so I'm sorry if I am barking up the wrong tree, but doesn't
Query - Find Selection (or Alt Q D as I use it) zoom to include all selections? The
only thing it doesn't do is fill the screen if there is only one item selected (but as
the selection is centred in this case it isn't too hard to find!).

Subject: RE: MI Zooming in to a selection
There's a neat little mbx that might help. It provides a tool button (a
floating eye icon), that will zoom to the location of a table selection in
the map window.
For your case, if you queried the census track, then hit the icon, it would
zoom to the census location, provided you had a map window containing the
layer open. It should be available on the free tools listing ... whatever
site their posting them on now.
Good luck.

I've never found a command to do this either. I think its been on the
Wish List. The only way I know how to do it is cumbersome. Add the
query to the mapping layer then go to Map ---> View Entire Layer and
select the query as the layer you want to zoom to. Hope this helps
