I usually do this in excel, by multiplying minutes by 60 and seconds by
3600. Maybe this could be done in Mapinfo itself, but I have found it
add the value [val()] of the left 3 chars [left$(str,count)]
7) update the column [float laty or lonx] with the calculation

I have a table with Lat/Long fields that are in degree decimal
minutes (dddº
mm.mmm) , for example (09923081) which is 99º 23.081'
And I need to convert those lat/lon

And I need to convert those lat/long fields to decimal degrees in order to use
the "create points" in MapInfo. But the only mbx programs I can find such as
Dms_dec.m
