Ahhh, but what if the low address range has a "0" on one side or the other
and you want to show the true low/high range?

In other words, you actually desire "the minimum greater than zero"

Thanks to Simon O'Keefe for help with this...

left$(str$(minimum(FROMLEFT,FROMRIGHT)),99*int(FROMLEFT<>0 and
FROMRIGHT<>0)) + left$(str$(maximum(FROMLEFT,FROMRIGHT)),99*int(FROMLEFT=0
or FROMRIGHT=0))

So, if:

FROMLEFT = 1
TOLEFT = 99
FROMRIGHT = 0
TORIGHT = 100

The above syntax will give you (1 - 100) instead as opposed to (0-100) when
using "minimum" alone.

Of course, the best thing here if you're gonna label with low and high range
very much (which I do on all my work as well).  The best thing to do is add
a "LOW" and "HIGH" field in your table then label from that.

Then occasionally, use the above syntax to update your "LOW" column after
doing much addressing maintenance (if you do much of that).



Just my .2¢ worth :))

Subject: Re: [MI-L] multline labels

here's one I use all the time
be sure to set the "position" for center of the object under the field to
use select expression and copy/paste the below and set the style to be
"boxed"
I like a light yellow background with red/blue/black letters


minimum(fromleft,toleft) + "-" + maximum(fromleft,toleft) + chr$(10) +
Street 
+ chr$(10) + minimum(fromright,toright) + "-" + 
+ maximum(fromright,toright)


this produces a look the below where --- street---  is the line [- is line]

     100 - 198
-----E MAIN ST -------
     101 -  199

another is

minimum(fromleft,fromright) + " - " + Street + " - " +
maximum(toleft,toright)

which looks like with = being the the actual street line

========== 100 - E MAIN ST - 199 ============

Failure is not an option....
It comes standard with all Microsoft products.
