Cameron,

I would recommend that you select the objects from one table at a time.

Select * From TABLE1
        Where Not OBJ Intersects Any (Select OBJ From TABLE2)

Note the this query can be terrible slow !!! And I mean terrible slow. I can 
recommend that you avoid the NOT and simple use a invert selection after doing 
this query:

Select * From TABLE1
        Where OBJ Intersects Any (Select OBJ From TABLE2)

To my knowledge it should return the same records

Subject: MI-L selecting objects from two tables that DO NOT intersect


Is there a way to select all the objects from two tables where thier objects DO 
NOT intersect at all? Seems fairly simple but I can't seem to find a "do not 
intersect" operator. I doesn't like it when I [put a "not" in front of 
intersect.
