Let me see if understand this correctly.
You have a layer A and a layer B. There si a selection set S in layer
B. You watn to tag just the elements in A that are within the elements
in S, and would like to keep all the other elements in A untagged-
If this si what you want do as follows here is a potentail solution ( I
am using you want to tag using a numeric field, if the field is a string
the procedure below needs to be modified).
1) Create a new fiedl (my_new_field) on B, and fill all records with 0
2) on the dataview, display only the S set, and fill the field
created on 1 it iwht 1
3) Create a new field in B using this formula my_new_field *
tagging field
4) Tag your field in A usign the formual you created on 3.
The elements in A overlapping the elements in S will be tagged
accrdogingly. All other records will be tagged with a 0
Just my first thought. But I have the impression it sounds cumbersome so
it is quite possible there might be a simpler solution.
As per Dave�s suggestion, I have the impression he is assuming there is
a one to one relatiobnship between source and target, so I am not sure
his method would be generally applicable
Good luck
