The X and Y columns are still there; MapInfo has simply "hidden" them since it's using them for the coordinates of your points.
MapInfo did this by design; it can be annoying but you have to live with it. If you want to get X and Y coordinates out of the mappable table you can still use the functions CentroidX() and CentroidY(). If you want to see coordinates in the browser, use "Pick Fields..." to add columns based on CentroidX(obj) and CentroidY(obj).

There's a table in this database that I wanted to be brought into MapInfo (7.5). I've done this via the dbms connection, and created a linked table. I also wanted to make this table mappable, and have gone through the steps to do this. This table became mappable, but in the process, the table has dropped the two columns which identified the x and y coordinates. When I go into browser view to look at my table, the x and y columns aren't there. They used to be there, when the table was non-mappable. Why did this happen? How do I get my x and y columns back? Any help would be appreciated.
