Each record has RowID field though mapinfo doesn't, for some reason, tell you so..
select where RowId<100,000 should do you...

At the moment i'm trying to import MapInfo data into a slightly non
standard GIS system. The trouble is the files i am bringing in are
pretty large (100,000 - 500,000 records). The system i am importing to
(via mif/mid) can only have a maximum of 160,000 records in a file. thus
i need to be able to slice these larger MI files up into smaller chunks.
Is there a 'record number' function in MI anywhere so i can say in an
SQL statement that i to select want records 1 - 100,000 and then save
the query ?????

anyone think of any other ways of doing this

cheers

Jon.
