Point on Area Overlayer and count points by attribute

Hi,

I simply need to take two TAB files - one point file containing several attribute fields, and one polygon - in the same projection, and overlay them and then summarise the number of points by attribute in each polygon. The output needs to be the polygon TAB file with a couple of fields of counts.

I have made some progress with the point on polygon overlayer. ie - it runs without generating an error, and the points or the polygons can be mapped in an inspector window.

Other posts suggest generating a list, which i have done, but doesn't seem to produce a list that i can see.

I've tried SQL executor (because I already have SQL code that will run in Mapbasic)

Tried Statistics Calculator.

Tried other things but can't remember what they are.

This is a pretty simple operation to complete in a GIS, but I don't want to have to do the repetitive part, because we have multiple polygons to deal with and repeated data in the future.

Any ideas?

Thanks,

Sean
