Christie Street, type "Congress Street && Christie Street."

Finding and Displaying a Selected Object

When you create a query or a SQL query, you may want to see the results of that query visually on the
map.

To find and display a selected object:

1. Do one of the following:

• On the Query menu, point to Select to open the Select dialog box

• On the Query menu, point to SQL Select to open the SQL Select dialog box

The Find Results in Current Map Window check box displays in both dialog boxes.

2. Create your query and verify that it is correct, selecting the open table that you want to query.

3. Select the Find Results in Current Map Window check box to display the results upon completion.

4. Click OK to display the results.

5. For more information, see Selecting All Objects from a Table in the Help System.
