Hi All The correct link is:
http://www.bodley.ox.ac.uk/guides/maps/geo_tools.htm My coordinate conversion tool mbx (Conversion Tools) converts conventional grid refs (e.g: SP123456) to eastings and northings and makes the table into mappable points. It also converts dms in to decimal degrees. However it does not directly convert eastings/northings to dec degrees. A workaround would be to create points from the eastings/northings table, then add two more fields to the table in float format (for lat and lon) and use Table>Update column with the functions CentroidX for longitude and CentroidY for lat. By default MI will use decimal degrees for the values.
