>From the DUOH!, slap-to-the-forehead department...

Yesterday, I re-ordered a table (232 rows, 2 cols - name & number) so the
records would be in numeric order.

Today, I opened a workspace created previously which opens and displays the
newly re-ordered table.  I had used the workspace to move and/or rotate most
of the labels for aesthetic reasons.  The labels all appeared in the wrong
place.

The lesson learned:  MI uses the Object number from the table in the
workspace.  If you re-order the table, all the objects are re-numbered.
When you open the workspace, MI uses old Object numbers and applies them to
the records as it finds them in the table.  Makes for a very interesting,
but useless, map.  So, today I have spent considerable time cutting &
pasting the offending Object lines in all the other workspaces that use that
table.

Isn't technology fun?!?

Question:  is this still the case with later versions of MI?  I still use
4.1.2.
