Hello Bill, > SELECT * FROM MyTable WHERE Str$(obj) = "Point" INTO MyPoints
thanks ! but also i have found "stylist" tool, and this could be done even easier. but your way is something new for me when sql is in question :) > SELECT ObjectInfo(obj, 3) "Elev" FROM MyText yes i know that but... > ....if you want to assign those those values to the points they came from, > you'll need > some way to relate those text objects to the points they are associated with. > That might > be hard if the points are close together. ... this is exactly the problem! and using some buffer around points and then updating columns with text that fall inside buffer will not work. points are too close. :( thanks for help -- Nebojsa Pesic JKP Naissus Nis Serbia _______________________________________________ MapInfo-L mailing list MapInfo-L@lists.directionsmag.com http://www.directionsmag.com/mailman/listinfo/mapinfo-l
