Tim & Yannick, Thanks for your responses. You both suggested the same initial solution: 1. In the ObjectInfo function, change 'selection.obj' to simply 'obj' 2. Wrap the entire ObjectInfo function into a Str$() function like this: Str$(ObjectInfo(obj, OBJ_INFO_TEXTSTRING)) = Text Which I have already tried only to get the error: ObjectInfo: argument 2 out of range. Yannick, You went on to suggest the following: If you want to include a variable in the condition, you have to use Run Command. If not, the condition will be tested on text itself and not the content of text. So, here's another look at the command. **************************************************************************** Dim select_cmd, LayoutTab, Text as String LayoutTab = WindowInfo(FrontWindow(), WIN_INFO_TABLE) Text = "Akolele" Select_cmd = "Select * from "+LayoutTab+" Where Str$(ObjectInfo(obj, OBJ_INFO_TEXTSTRING))="+TEXT Run Command select_cmd Delete from selection I tried this and received the error: File #0 not registered for access. Found [] while searching for [A string constant]. I also tried to replace the variable with the actual text in the variable ie. ..... _TEXTSTRING)) = Akolele" For this one I receive the error: File #0 not registered for access. Variable or Field OBJ_INFO_TEXTSTRING not defined. I have Included mapbasic.def at the start of the program. Any further suggestions ideas would be greatly appreciated. Thanks again for your help so far.
