OK, a quick suggestion: Make a copy of your table, specifying a new bounds.
You can do this using the Mapbasic window, like this:
1)
Open your second (target) table in Mapinfo.
2)
Bring up the Mapbasic window (menu Options, Show Mapbasic Window).
3)
In the Mapbasic Window, type
note tableinfo("table2",29)
where you substitute "table2" with your table name, still in quotes.
This will give you a message box with the coordsys clause for the table.
Write it down.
4)
In the Mapbasic Window, type
commit table "table2" as "table3" [coordsys clause]
where you substitute "table2" with your table name in quotes, and substitute
"table3" with the name of your new table INCLUDING drive and path (so you
know where it goes) and still in quotes. Furthermore, insert the coordsys
clause you wrote down before - but with adjusted bounds - where it says
[coordsys clause]. Make sure you get the coordsys clause exactly right, or
Mapinfo won't recognize it.
You can check it out by
1)
open your new table (in this case "table3")
2)
go to menu Table, Maintenance, Table Structure..., select your new table
("table3) and check the projection.
I hope this makes sence, and helps you

Emne: MI Q: Append rows to table (cont.)
Thank you all for your suggestions.
Packing the tables does not work for my case. The features are still
collapsed at the boundaries.
I am sorry if this is a trivial question, but I cannot figure out how to
adjust the bounds of a table.
Searching in the MapInfo help file, the closest thing I could find was
"Specifying The Bounds for Coordinate Systems" which involved editing
the Mapinfow.prj file something I'd rather not do.
I also tried to create a new table. When stepping though all the steps,
I did not find any option to set/adjust the boundaries.
Thanks again for your help.
