Hi Haavard,

Ah, the infamous CENTROIDX/CENTROIDY question.  There are a couple of
methods, but let's stick with the easiest.

1)  TABLE->MAINTENANCE->TABLE STRUCTURE
2)  Add 2 fields, label them Lat & Long, make them both floats, hit OK.
3)  TABLE->UPDATE COLUMN
4)  Pick Table to update - as the table you wish to update.
5)  Column to Update (first do LAT)
6)  Value- CENTROIDY(Obj) - you can pick this from the FUNCTIONS LISTBOX.
7)  Repeat 4-6 replacing LAT with LONG, and CENTROIDY with CENTROIDX(Obj).

And there you have it...  Hope that this helps,
Mark Crompton
