This worked for me some time ago 1) Add a field to the dataview of your layer called THEMEFILED (or any name that makes sense to you)
1) Display your selection set in a dataview (make sure you only display the selections et on which you want to create a theme) 2) Fill the THEMEFIELD with a formula. in the formula enter the name of the filed you want to use int the theme. 3) take note of the minimum and maximum values on that field (sort by THEMFIELD) 4) Open the theme tool - Create a theme by THEMEFIELD , in the ignore minimum and maximum values fields, enter the one sin your dagta set.
