My error was in the symbol name which was "MapInfoSymbols", should've been
"MapInfo Symbols".
You'd think that if the font specified was invalid an error would be
generated at runtime.

Subject: MI another alter obj question
Thanks to all who offered help w/ my alter obj question. Here's another
one, a bit more perplexing:
If I use the MakeFontSymbol() to assign to a symbol variable, using
variables in the arguement the color is changed, but the symbol and
fontstyle are not being changed. I am writing the same variables into a
message window, and can see they are changing values correctly when I
compare them back to several attributes in the table (33,50,51,52) as well
as the fontstyle (0,16). I am receiving no error on execution. The same
result on a rum command w/ the same string arguement.
I am using "MapInfoSymbols." I can manually (edit) change a symbol style
within MI Professional, and I can run KGM tool MB_TOOLS.MBX as another check
to see the changes are the same.
Anyone experience the same, and can offer a workaround?
