I usually do this in excel, by multiplying minutes by 60 and seconds by
3600. Maybe this could be done in Mapinfo itself, but I have found it easier
and quicker to do it in a spreadsheet then import that data in.
Interested in other's take on this.

Subject: MI-L converting degree decimal minutes to decimal
degrees
I have a table with Lat/Long fields that are in degree decimal
minutes (ddd�
mm.mmm) , for example (09923081) which is 99� 23.081'
And I need to convert those lat/long fields to decimal degrees in
order to use
the "create points" in MapInfo. But the only mbx programs I can
find such as
Dms_dec.mbx and Dmscnvrt.mbx will only convert decimal degrees to
degrees
minute seconds or vis-versa. Anyone know of an easy way of
converting ddd�mm.mmm
to ddd.ddddddd automatically?
TIA
Dan
