Dear List Thanks to everyone who answered my query. I did actually have the = columns as "float" but the problem was more to do with an MI anomaly = pointed out and summarised by the e-mail (below) I received from Martin = Hodder (and several other people). The instructions in his e-mail = worked perfectly! Best wishes Jacqui Foskett Jacqui, =20 This is one of those anomalies of dear ol' MapInfo. Just because your = map says it is BNG does not mean to say it is BNG! =20 MI hold a separate internal coordsys which by default is Lat/Long. =20 To change this simply go to your map window change the project to = anything else and apply it. then change it back to BNG and then your = update will work correctly! =20 If you use BNG all the time then a lot of UK users would put the = appropriate set coordsys clause in the startup.wor ( this is usually in = the windows directory or if not you can create it) =20 If you decide to do this then the statement you want is :- Set CoordSys Earth Projection 8, 79, "m", -2, 49, 0.9996012717, 400000, = -100000 Just use a text editor to put it into the startup.wor. =20 _______________________________________________________________________ List hosting provided by Directions Magazine | www.directionsmag.com | To unsubscribe, send e-mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] and put "unsubscribe MapInfo-L" in the message body.
