Tony, I think if starting off a fresh you are better going for vb.net and mapXtreme 6. MapX and MapBasic will be slowly retired by MapInfo over the next few years.

I have managed to display a map on a form, add some buttons to zoom in, out, pan etc. I have selected a polygon, how can I pull back the data that relates to that polygon for use elsewhere on the form? I.e. query the database based on that selection? Since I am starting from scratch, would I be better off developing using vb.net and mapXtreme 6?
