Hi Chris, There are some ways of doing this:
1. Select all objects of type Line (I guess you already know this one): Select * From MYTABLE Where Str$(ObjectInfo(OBJ, 1)) = "3" Where - MYTABLE is the name of your table - "3" refers to the objecttype line 2. Select all objects with more than one segment: Select * From MYTABLE Where Val(Str$(ObjectInfo(OBJ, 21))) > 1 HTH, Peter Horsbøll Møller GIS Developer Geographical Information & IT COWI A/S Odensevej 95 DK-5260 Odense S.

I'm using MI 6.5 and have tables where some objects are lines, some are "true" polylines (constructed using the polyline tool), and others are combinations of disjunct lines, which are converted by MI into polylines also. I'd like to be able to determine which are true polylines and which are combinations of disjunct lines. I can't find a way to read combination status directly. Am I missing something obvious? Or is there a way to return the number "real" segments of a polyline? If this were possible, you could compare that to the number of nodes (if there were n nodes and fewer than n-1 segments, there would have to be disjunct lines). The only potential method I've come upon so far is to copy the table, select all objects and disaggregate, and then check to see if any new line objects are created. This is a bit of a pain. Thanks in advance for any ideas.
