Hello, Chris

It just handles them as alpha.  What's the problem?  If the address is
to be used just for, say, labelling then most of it is alpha anyway.
What if there IS no number, e.g. "Dunroamin", Lover's Lane?  If you
intend to do math, or mapping, on the house number then that's a
different matter (but I'd say unusual!)

Alpha chars may accept numeric or letters, in any mix

Hello,
 
How does MapInfo handle alpha characters in the house number? For
example,
how does MapInfo handle the address '123A Elm St'? Do alpha characters
need
to be stripped out, or does MapInfo automatically ignore them? I haven't
found any clues in the documentation.
 
Thanks!
