This is because MapInfo 6.5 stores certain things in a different location to MapInfo 6.0.
The new location (in Windows 2000) is C:\Documents and Settings\'username'\Application Data\MapInfo\MapInfo\Professional\650\CustSymb Put them there are they will appear in MapInfo. I don't know about Windows 98 etc but presumably there is a similar deal.

I have created a couple of custom symbols and followed everything to the "T" on how to make them and they show up wonderfully well in MI 6.0, but when I try to use them in 6.5, guess what...they are not there. I have tried reload. I have tried rebooting. I have tried copying the custsymb directory to where MI 6.5 is installed and now I have run out of ideas! Has MI 6.5 changed the specs on what bitmaps it likes? Is there a maximum amount of custom symbols you can have in 6.5? The bitmaps are as follows: 32x32 ; 8Bit ; 256 colours ; 2kb size ; 150 dpi Thanks for your help!
