Tim's solution seems to be the best for my needs.  Worked like a charm.

But, like all good problems, more than one solution is available.

Ben Greenberg suggested:

What about quering the non-zero cells, then adding the query result as a 
layer and labeling the newly added query layer instead of the base table.

And Uffe Kousgaard said:

Create a string field with the same value as your thematic field, but
replace "0" with an empty string. Now use that for labeling.

Thank you all very much.

RE: MI-L Newbie Label Question






Troy, I just needed to do this today,

Make your label expression:
Format$(FIELD,"#")  where FIELD is your field or expression or whatever.

Subject: MI-L Newbie Label Question


Not that I'm really a newbie, but I'm sure this is a newbie type
question, 
there must be something I'm overlooking, like when you try to take your 
pants off before removing your shoes, it will work, but you are sure
there 
must be a better way.  Anyway, is there a way to not label cells with a 
zero value when you label a thematic map?  I do a lot of "calls per
square 
mile" stuff and sometimes, there's a lot of square miles with no calls. 
Deleting those zeros, while exciting and suspenseful, sometimes takes a 
while.  Any thoughts?

Thanks,
