Hello Doug,

As Stephen suggested, I would recommend using the "Merge by
Value" command.

I would recommend opening the "table" of your parcel layer by
itslef -- your table is probably in the form of a Maptitude
"bin" file, so to open it you would simply do File-Open, change
the "file type" to "Fixed-Format Binary (*.bin)", then browse
for your table -- it will probably share the same as your
"cdf" file of the layer.

Once you have the table for your layer open in its own
Dataview, use the "Merge By Value" command under the "Tools"
menu.  In the Merge by Value dialog box, choose your
parcel number field as the option for the "Based on"
setting.  This will create a new bin file with one entry for
each unique value of "parcel number".
