Hi Sarah! I did a quick test in MapInfo v8.0 and can confirm that it works as expected, that is I can manually assign symbols or even lines and regions to a selected item in a browser table, but only if it does not have a map object before. In order to perform the test, I used a point table where I erased a number of map objects. If a selected item has already got a map object, the result is just as you describe, a new item is created in the table.
Can it be that you have 0,0 coordinates for the items you want to geocode? Zoom out to the entire layer and look for a pile of symbols in the origin point.

As per the instructions in the MapInfo User Guide I have open my editable table in the map and browser window. I select the appropriate record in the browser window, select the symbol tool, select the map window and click to insert the map object. Rather than connecting the attributes with the new point on the map, this creates a new record which is inserted at the bottom of the browser window. I have tried this is version 6.5 and 7.8 with the same result What am I doing wrong? Thanks in advance for any help.
