Dear Sue and Roy
I didn't see the orginal question, but wonder if the following is yet
another approach.
Run an SQL that selects all objects where value = "S" into tabS. Select
all where value="T" into tabT. In layer control remove your original
layer but add in both queries, tabS and tabT. Now label each one as
desired. This approach would allow you to have as many "if conditions"
as you liked.
The result could be saved in a workspace, so that each time the
workspace was opened the SQL(s) would be built again.
Regards
Bob
