Thank you all for your invaluable help, Below is the extract of code which achieves the solution to my problem. My original question was: I would like to know how to delete a text object from a layout if it has a certain value. Text = "Akolele" LayoutTab = WindowInfo(FrontWindow(), Win_info_table) Select * from LayoutTab where Str$(Obj) = "Text" Select * From Selection Where Str$(ObjectInfo(obj,OBJ_INFO_TEXTSTRING))= Text If SelectionInfo(SEL_INFO_NROWS) Then Delete From Selection End if Text is a String Variable LayoutTab is also a String and contains the name of the underlying table used for the Layout. Your help has been great and I thank you again.
