> Hello all.

> I hope someone can help me.
>
> I am adding a 2-character field to the "Cncty_3k" file to identify the
> Canadian Province (or Territory). As my source for the 2-digit code, I am
> using the "Province" column in the "Canada" table. I believe that both
> tables are the supplied with MapInfo.
>
> Here are the problems:
> 1). The "Cncty_3k" file says that the provincial name is
> "Nunvaut". The "Canada" file says that it is spelled "Nunavut". Which is
> correct?
> 2). The "Canada" file says that the abbreviation for Nunavut is
> "NT". That is the same abbreviation for the Northwest Territories. Can
> someone tell me what the abbreviation is for the Northwest Territories as
> well as the Nuvaut Territory?
>
> Thanks!
