I have an immense project which entails alot of recoloring of selected line segments, I am new to Map Basic and am attempting to change the colour of the current active selected objects. Any assistance would be greatly appreciated! Here is the code I have used so far. The error message says "cannot convert data" Regards Kenn include "mapbasic.def" dim tmpObj as Object dim pen_style as Pen tmpObj=Selection.obj tmpObj = ObjectInfo(Selection.obj, OBJ_INFO_PEN) pen_style = MakePen(3,9,RED) Alter Object tmpObj Info OBJ_INFO_PEN, pen_style Update tmpObj Set pen_style = MakePen(3, 9, RED) ______________________________________________________ Get Your Private, Free Email at http://www.hotmail.com ---------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe from this list, send e-mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] and put "unsubscribe MAPINFO-L" in the message body, or contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
