Frank,
I found the problem but I don't know if it's a bug or if it's by
design. I was using a TABCustomPoint and the symbol was always zero in
a mif file I switched it to TABPoint and it works just fine. I don't
know if TABCustomPoint is supposed to support symbol styles or not. If
it is I can submit it as a bug but if it doesn't by design then I just
know to use TABPoint from now on. If you could let me know which it is
I'd appreciate it.
Thanks,
Andy
