Andrew, You cannot perform an update like this in MapInfo. Update tablename set column = expression [where RowID = idNum] is the syntax. Try *** Select elev_new.status from elev_new, elev_FEATURES_CURRENT where elev_new.featID = elev_FEATURES_CURRENT.featId into tmpUpdat

There is a function in MapInfo called "Object, Snap/thin" which will do this. It was introduced with MapInfo 6.5. If you have an older version of MI, a similar function is also included with our ToolBox, which only requires MapInfo 4.5 Kind regards Uffe Kousgaard www.routeware.dk - Original

If you are using one of the newer versions of MapInfo you have the Snap/Thin (7.0, I'm not sure whether it's there in 6.5) function in the Objects menu. This function will thin your data. You control the thinning by entering distance between '3-Node Collinear Delineation' and 'Node Separation' Us
