My first answer did not address the problem correctly; my apologies for having misread the question. Paul Crisp's answer made me realized my mistake and at the same time showed me that there are different ways to answer it depending on what you want in the end:
a/ label-turned-into-text objects to be stored in a different table from the one that served for labelling (and labels could be based on different layers) b/ strings of text objects stored in a tabular form in the same table as those objects My answer addressed specifically the b/ issue and cannot be applied to labels that do not exist as real objects. Paul's solution does not generate any object and can be used to update a column with the expression that has served to fill in the labels; it could be used in specific circumstances: all objects are labelled, all labels come from the same layer and the labelling expression is "calculated" (= calling on a combination of several columns or using a modified part of one) otherwise the text is already there in the column that served for labelling. Before speculating further, I think a better specification of the problem is required.

How can I grap labels in MapBasic and how can I insert those objects to a new table?
