Hi,
I have a project that requires labeling the boundaries
of each U.S. census tract with the underlying streets
that run along each tract�s perimeter. Currently, I am
adding each label painstakingly by hand. I can�t turn
autolabeling on for my street layer because it causes
excessive label flotsam on the map layout. Rather than
label each street manually, I would think there is a
much easier way to label via SQL Select, MapBasic or
perhaps there is a tract file out there that has all
census tract boundaries labeled.

Granted, all tracts aren�t defined by street layout
alone, finding a way to label those tracts that do
have street boundaries would be a big help. The street
file I�m using (by GDT) unfortunately does not include
fields for each street section that lists �tract left�
or �tract right�. Instead, there is �zip left� and
�zip right� which lists the zip codes found on each
side of each street. 

Any help/advice/direction as to how to do this
labeling in an easier manner would be appreciated. I�m
using MapInfo 5.0 and MapBasic. 
Thanks.
