Using MI 5.5. I have a list of dates for historic buildings in a table, which MapInfo insisted were numbers when I created the MI table from a spreadsheet- so 1492 appears as 1,492. The field type at present is "float". What kind of field can I convert this column to so the dates appear as dates, but remain searchable (so "character" would not seem to be a useful choice) , and can be put in numerical order?
