Dear Troy
No not with just MI , although with MapBasic this would be straight
forward.
If I was you I would also want to be sure that the x,y for duplicate
names is also the same before deleting and with mapbasic you could also
run this check before deleting one of them and perhaps reporting cases
where name is the same but coords diiferent.
Your best bet with just MapInfo is to sort the table on the name. ( You
will need to index on this field if this is not already done ( Table
Maintenance)).
Then I would add two temporary columns with CentroidX and CentroidY in
them ( I'm assuming this is a point theme ). Then manually go down
throught the list looking for adjacent records that have the same Name ,
X and Y. At least the duplicates will now be adjacent.
If you do not have too many then this is most likely a case of deleting
2,4,6 etc although I guess some will only have one record and perhaps
some more than two.
If you have more than 200 milestones or so ( depends on your patience !
) then a MapBasic problem could do the whole thing for you.
Regards
Bob
