Hi Andrea,
Quick suggestion - check Layer B. It needs to be converted to regions.
1) Set the layer editable.
2) Select All from the layer.
3) Objects->Convert to Regions.
Now try the queries, they should work fine.
Thanks
Mark

Subject: MI Boundary Select
Have you ever tried to do something that you know is simple, basic,
trivial, but the dang thing just won't work?
I am trying to do a Boundary Select. I have a workspace with many tables
but for now I am just interested in two.
Layer A has points.
Layer B has polygons.
I am trying to pick the points in Layer A that lie within the polygons of
Layer B. I know this is absolutely simple, but every time I try, there are
no points selected. I can see in my map that there are points that lie
within these regions.
I have tried moving layers A and B up to the first and second positions
from the top in the Map Layer Window, but this has not helped.
I make Layer A selectable.
I choose the Boundary Select Tool.
I click within the region of interest in the Map Window.
Nothing.
I have tried moving the layers around and different combinations of
selectable layers.
Nothing.
Does anyone know Step by Step instructions for completing this task? I
have the MapInfo book open beside me and I think I am doing everything as
directed (page 120), but it is just not happening.
Has anyone else ever run into this same problem?
I am completely stumped. Any input would be of help, I'm sure.
Thanks all.
Cheers,
Andrea
