apologies - you'll need a bit more info ... I am processing Ordnance Survey Meridian data ... supplied as zipped TABs

 

 

part of my processing isolates a single feature processes the attributes and writes it out ... my processing exposes some of the hidden MapInfo text attributes and writes to visible attributes with their name changed ... I take the foreground colour attribute and swap the R and B values so RGB becomes GBR

 

 

however - when I write the feature out to a new TAB my "exposed" text attributes are ignored ... they're not defined in the TAB file even though I defined them (as INTs) in the Writer

 

 

any ideas?

 

 

many thanks
