now..... restructure the table and add a field call it TEXT with 50 char [check what you need] size [be sure to use your name in example -- TEXT] copy below and paste in the MapBasic Window change TableName to the name of you table chage TEXT to what you used above highlight the lines and hit enter --------- begin copy paste --------------- select * from TableName where str$(objectinfo(obj,1)="10" into work browse * from work update work set TEXT=objectinfo(obj,3) --------- end --------------- On Saturday 25 February 2006 07:30, Nebojsa Pesic wrote: > Hello, > > i got one table exported from autocad with points and text inserted > beside points which represents elevations.
