Dear everyone, in an existing table is there a simple way to right justify numerical values in a longitude column already populated with values defined as float? i want to parse the data values starting from the left and i want the spaces to be recogized when i count over using left string and mid string functions in table>update column or the mapbasic window. can spaces or null values be recognized when counting? thankyou, jeff ________________________________________________________________________ Get Your Private, Free E-mail from MSN Hotmail at http://www.hotmail.com ---------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe from this list, send e-mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] and put "unsubscribe MAPINFO-L" in the message body, or contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
