Usually I use "save window as" and then pick windows metafile (wmf). This retains map resolution as well as keeps labels in a good shape, even if resized. Of course if your applications and/or clients can work with wmf. Ahmed Saber Cairo-Egypt +20 12 323 53 50 [EMAIL PROTECTED] -Original Mes

When you said MI only performs joins on base tables, you hit the nail on the head. You have to take your OwnerMeterLink table and perform a Save Copy As. I suggest that you alter the name of the Save Copy As table to distinguish it from the named query created by the Into Table Named part of the f
