Hi Doug, Yes, I need to change the colour permanently. I'm scanning through about 50,000 properties, visually selecting certain ones (based on underlying historic raster data)and changing their colour. Selecting them is a quick process, but then clicking onto the toolbar, then onto the region edit, then selecting the colour and OK'ing it all slows the process down. I was hoping there'd be some definable hotkeys in MapInfo without having to create a mbx.

Why not have an attribute in the polygon layer that is driving a thematic map? e.g. CODE. Then make a thematic map on the code column. Every time u click on a polygon (with the info tool), update the code attribute to x and the colour changes immediately - fewer steps than making a region edit. Otherwise, u do need to make a little mapbasic tool - for which u certainly can have a hotkey to call. Do you have mapbasic?

What I would like, is to be able to select a polygon and then hit a hot key or ctrl key which changes the colour of the polygon. It would save me a lot of time rather than having to do it through the toolbar and region style everytime. Does anyone know how to do this?
