Thanks again Peter - I managed to sort it out, pretty much as you first
suggested - I used an alias and just got the id from the base table rowid field
thus:
If SelectionInfo(SEL_INFO_NROWS) > 0 Then
aSelName = SelectionInfo(SEL_INFO_SELNAME) 'eg "Query1"
gs_theselTable = SelectionInfo(SEL_INFO_TABLENAME) 'the base table
'Note (gs_theseltable)
Else
Note("The selection is now 0")
End If
'This next line will cause an error if the tolerance has been changed and 'poly
not reselected - due to selchangedhandler
'gi_myrowid = commandInfo(cmd_info_rowid)
'This is the way to do it!
selection_colalias = gs_theseltable & ".ROWID"
gi_myrowid =selection_colalias
All the best and many thanks again :-)
Nicki

Nicki,
You are most welcome.
I know from myself that you sometimes can do things in the most fantastic ways,
only to 2 weeks later discover that it could have been done a lot simpler. Keep
on using MapBasic and you end up knowing you way around it - and still learn
new things ;-)
