Hello, Trying to modify the sample code that comes with MapBasic "Gridmakr.mb" to "skip" the letter "I" when it creates the column names (...FGHJK...). The original code: col_string = build_cellname$(i_col) Insert Into table_name ( Description, col_name, row_name, obj ) Values ( col_string + Str$(i_row), 'e.g. "A1" col_string, 'e.g. "A" Str$(i_row), 'e.g. "1" obj_cell ) current_y = current_y - y_spacing i_row = i_row + 1 Loop current_x = current_x + x_spacing i_col = i_col + 1 Loop End Sub My lame attempt to modify: current_x = current_x + x_spacing if i_col = 72 then i_col = i_col + 2 else i_col = i_col + 1 end if Loop End Sub The manuals tell me that 65 is ansi "A" so I'm trying to check for the letter "H" (72) and add 2 (therefore skipping "I"), if not, continue... Am I on the right track? Thanks for any help, this stuff is not easy :-( Frank __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Yahoo! Shopping - Thousands of Stores.
