I am working with more than one area in my map file. I need to place all the
land in one layer. I have 8 different shape files for different areas of the
map. Is it possible to join them in one layer. If so can you give me some
example code to combine them. I am trying to make my map open faster. Will
this help or hurt? I just found out by reading off of your  homepage that
joins are only availabe in Queries. So is it possible to join these files
using my .map file in a layer?
