Hi, This should do the trick, even though it might be pretty slow:
Select * From ONETABLE Where NOT OBJ Within ANY (Select Buffer(OBJ, 12, 100, "m") From ANOTHERTABLE) This would select all the records from ONETABLE that are more than 100 meters from any point in ANOTHERTABLE. You could also do it this way: Select * From ONETABLE Where OBJ Within ANY (Select Buffer(OBJ, 12, 100, "m") From ANOTHERTABLE) Click on "Invert Selection" The later is quite a lot quicker than the first Peter Horsbøll Møller GIS Developer, MTM Geographical Information & IT COWI A/S Odensevej 95 DK-5260 Odense S.

I have two point coverages and I want to identify all those points in one table that are more than a specified distance from ANY point in the other table. I could do this by buffering one table, then identifying those points inside buffered regions then inverting the selection. However, I suspect there might be a quicker and sneakier way. Any thoughts would be gratefully welcomed.
