Hi,
 
I have been trying unsuccessfully to pass a dynamic _expression_ into a select clause in MapBasic. I thought it would be straitforward but somehow it is trickier than I expected. Here is what I did
 
First I retrieved column number n in MyTable from a list in a dialog box (works fine). I would then like to select that column from the table. I wrote the following code:
 
  Dim selColumnId as integer
  Dim selColumnName as String
  selColumnId = <number retrieved from dialog>
  selColumnName = ColumnInfo(MyTable,"col"+selColumnId,COL_INFO_NAME)
  select selColumnName from MyTable
 
This gives me a single column filled with the String <columnName>. Any idea how I should proceed instead?
 
Thanks,
