Nick, Make sure your table (MyTable) has at least five columns set up like:
RowID, X1, Y1, X2, Y2 Then in your MapBasic window set the coordinate system, I use British National Grid so I enter: set coordsys earth projection 8, 79, "m", -2, 49, 0.9996012717, 400000, -100000 Then Type: Update MyTable set obj = CreatLine(X1, Y1, X2, Y2) That should create lines (obj) joining X1Y1 (start point) to X2Y2 (end point). Hope that helps. Rgds, Dave ---------------------------------------------- David A.
