Thanks, Jon. That's the sort of func. I'm looking for. However, if you read my original message then you may have seen that I'd already ascertained what x and y were: 1.2607 and 51.9248. I didn't get those values via Centroidx/y() (can't remember how now!) but they are the vals that the funcs return. OK, I can use SQL Update to set my E & N vals (that was well understood) BUT what do I do about the fact that they are in different units, e.g E = 624640 (integer val in my table) whilst centroid X = 1.2607 (float)? My table is set up with co-ord system of British National Grid (BNG). I'm not sure how the British Ordnance Survey (OS) 6-digit X & Y co-ords fit in with E & Northings, and/or BNG I don't know if there is another func. to convert from one co-ord system to another. Take care Terry ________________________________

Look in the Help for Centroids and Updating Tables. I don't know the exact code, and can't find it in the myriad of programs that I have written, but I have used this or something similar in several programs. Take Care, Jon
