Listers,

I'm having trouble getting the Overlap function to work properly (i.e. the
way I want it to) through the SQL dialogue box.

I have two regions in separate tables which partially overlap. I want to
create a new object that represents just this overlap area.

I run a query using the SQL dialogue box which when viewed in the MapBasic
window looks like this:

Select Overlap(Layer_2.obj, Layer_1.obj) from Layer_2, Layer_1 where
Layer_2.Obj intersects Layer_1.Obj into Selection

Unfortunately this just selects the entire object in Layer_2.

It's obvious I don't quite understand how the Overlap function works, but
it's not well documented in the MapBasic help, and not documented at all in
the MI help.

Can anyone point me in the right direction?

TIA,
