Here's the solution to the problem... A big thanks to all those who have given me a helping hand: Options> Show Mapbasic window goto the window, enter set coordsys table YourTableName hit return. This fix will only solve the problem for this session. I now have a full list of Eastings & Northings... Thanks again! ------- Forwarded message follows ------- From: "David Eagle" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Organization: W S Atkins East Anglia To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Date sent: Fri, 28 Jan 2000 10:00:27 -0000 Subject: MI Eastings & Northings Part II Ok, many thanks to all of you who have replied to this annoying little problem. I'm getting there slowly...I now know that my initial mistake was in having the column flagged as an Integer, it should be a 'Float' it seems. To clarify for those who have asked the projection I am using is "British Coordinate Systems" - Category Member "British National Grid" with coordinate units expressed in Meters. After updating both columns again with the 'float' setting I atleast get a result but it seems there is a projection problem somewhere. E.g. - When I select an object and go to Edit>Get Info, I get the following, Location X: 549,316.39m Location Y: 256,640.97m. These are the figures I wish to grab and put in my table, however when I update I get the following for that point: X: 0.184493 Y:52.1874 Major annoyance! Some of you have suggested entering a mapbasic command similar to the following "set coordsys table <yourTableName>", not being familiar with MapBasic (in any way shape or form!) I am unsure what this is doing, and it doesn't work when I try it anyway. If anyone can help, you know where I am...Thanks, to all have helped thus far anyway! Dave ----------------------------------------------------- Another one for the masses! I have geocoded over 100 addresses by Postcode. I now want to append the Eastings and Northings for each point to this table. I have created two extra columns and have flagged them as integers. I then have tried going to 'Table', 'Update Column' and then select the 'table to update', then the 'column to update' and then 'get value from' the same table, with the 'value' as centroidX(obj). I'm getting nowhere! I'm sure I'm on the right lines as it seems logical and I have gotten a semi-valid output but only when the column is flagged as a character...Er, help?!
