Michael,
MapBasic uses an ObjectGeography() function to return various info about objects. In
your case, you would want to define four object variables
( dim x1,y1,x2,y2 as float ) to represent the coordinate pairs for the beginning
and ending nodes of the line.
Then populate the variables like so:
fetch first from line.tab
x1 = objectgeography(line.obj,obj_geo_linebegx)
y1 = objectgeography(line.obj,obj_geo_linebegy)
x2 = objectgeography(line.obj,obj_geo_lineendx)
y2 = objectgeography(line.obj,obj_geo_lineendy)
you can then use the variable values to update a column in your table etc..

Is there a way to extract to Lat/Long's of the starting and ending points
of a line object? Does anyone know where I can get that mapbasic code,
as I don't think that can be done in MI alone. Thanks ... Mike
