Did you have a look at the Grid Maker which comes with Mapinfo
Professional already? You can find this tool in the Tool Manager. This
program draws a grid of longitude/latitude lines (i.e. a graticule).
This tool will add an additional button to the tools toolbar ("Create
Grid"). Use this button to create a grid quickly and easily.
If you need the source code of this tool: it comes with the Mapbasic
samples.

I am not sure if the Grid Tool does what you need, because I think it just draws the lines but does not add the grid labels anywhere to the layout.
It looks as if the tool Greg posts does what you need - however I just had a look at this and it appears it only works for a limited number of projections namely:
1 "Longitude/Latitude"
4 "Lambert Azimuthal Equal Area (polar aspect)"
5 "Azimuhal Equidistant (polar aspect)"
10 "Mercator"
18 "New Zealand Map Grid"
If any one knows if there is a version that works with British National Grid I would be very pleased to hear so as I am also trying to find a way to accomplish this dynamically.

Kevin

It will work with BNG - I've used it in the past. What it won't do is give you OS type grid references - TQ 123 456 etc.
