Steve,
The easiest way I can think of to do this would be to open the MapBasic
Window (Options -> Show MapBasic Window), and type the following:
Set CoordSys Earth Projection 8, 104, 7, -117, 0, 0.9996, 50000, 0
and hit enter. Run your Update Column, and once you're done, you'll
probably want to change it back.
Set CoordSys Earth Projection 1, 0
