Hi Alison The Distance calculator tool (comes free with mapinfo) can do this. Just open it from Tool Manager. Quite a versatile tool.

I would like to update table 2 with the shortest distance between each point and the coast. The tools I have found so far seem to calculate the distance to the centroid of the coast polyline. Any suggestions? Thanks.
