Re: MI-L string expression

Hi Alistair The combination of the functions Mid$(), Len() and Instr() will help solve your problem. For example given Mytxt = "2105 ALBANY CREEK" the statement Mid$( Mytxt , Instr(1, Mytxt , " ") +1, Len(Mytxt)) will return "ALBANY CREEK". Instr(1, Mytxt , " ") returns the

MI-L MapInfo Not Responding

Hi all, Thanks for your suggestions. On the advise of Jon Gramm I deleted all .tmp files I could, to see if that was why the program was crashing. It wasn't. I've tried numerous things; indexing the field I'm joining on, making sure that the table fields are the same, and saving the matched que
