Hi Bill
You can use the syntax in the "Where Condition:"
SUBURB = Any ("Alpha","Tango","Charlie","Whisky", ....) .
If your list is not too long then this way should work.
Should you have a lengthy list ...
it might be worth typing the names into an Excel spreadsheet and then importing
it into MI and doing a "join" to choose only those suburbs listed in the Excel
file from your MapInfo suburbs.
HTH.
