Re:: MI-L Please help me with SQL select!

Hi Sarah It might be easier to use the buffer as a to cut out those parts of the polys which are within the buffer. You can then get the area of the new polys. 1. Make a backup copy of your forests table first. 2. Make the forests table editable and select all polys which overlap the buffer

Re:: MI-L Coordinate Systems

Hi Nichola I assume you want to enable a user to enter an OS grid ref in conventional (SP123456 etc) form? If so, you could use a Do Case statement to read the first 2 chars from the input string and get the corresponding number. You could then split the rest of the string to get the eastings

Re:: MI-L MapInfo freezing (label problem?)
