Hello Sophie,
It's simply because there can be more than one mapper window and each
has their own cosmetic layer. In order to treat the layer as a table,
they need different names. After starting MapInfo Pro, the first mapper
window you use will always be "Cosmetic1" but it's best not to rely on

Hello Steve,
Yes, you can do this with use of MapInfo/MapBasic's string functions
such as Left$(), Right$(), Mid$(), InStr() and Len().
Right$() allows you to extract a number of characters from the left of a
string. For instance, to query all the records in a table where the

Steve,
simply use the Search and Replace tool. Goto Tools > Tool Manager and
look for Search and Replace.
It will now be on the Tools menu. select it to run the app.
Select the table and the column then enter the text to search for and
replace it with an empty string.
