Hello all, here's my first question to the new list!

I have a table full of text objects that I bring into ArcView using the
Universl Translator. The UV creates points with a column that contains
the text string and it works great. My only problem is that the point
object created by the translator is located at the lower-left extent of
the string and not the centroid position where I would like it to be. I
understand MapBasic fairly well and I have created columns for the x and
y values of the centroid.

What I think I need to do is shift the lower-left corner of the text
object to the centroid position. My only question now is which Alter
Object/Update statement to use. I have tried a couple but neither have
worked and I'm not sure if my statement is incorrect or if I'm using the
wrong commands.

Thanks in advance,
Ron
