Global Greetings Can anyone suggest a technique for searching a table for overlapping polygons (some are the same size, others have different shapes that overlap) I can do this easily enough for seperate tables, but not for data within tables. Thanks Lachlan PS Its about 34 Deg C' in lovely Melton, we are into our 3rd month of water restrictions but the heat is beautiful. Thought for all is; why, on one of the driest continents on earth, do most of our houses in urban areas not have water tanks or the ability to recycle grey water. Even in the middle of a drought, our communities or leaders do not cry out for changes in the way we design houses. As with our treatment of indigeous people, we are continuing to fail to come to terms with living or adequately caring for this environment. I think its to do with the power of existing cultural practice and institutional memory that stifles change even in the face of obvious opportunites. This is a limited arguement because we are supposed to have one of the highest uptake rates of new technologies. This could be more practicing denial of reality through stimulation provided by smooth technology, though I do think GIS does give us a great tool to understand some problems for example. Its Fine line between Pleasure and Pain. Please laugh at our general head-in-sandness at all opportunities. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe from this list, send e-mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] and put "unsubscribe MAPINFO-L" in the message body, or contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
