Hello GISers:
I have a simple spatial database of the world, with Country Name as one of the attribute Items. I joined a table of Emergency Telephone numbers (world) to this attribute table using the Country Name as a relate item. It worked just fine. The problem I am having is in using the information in the new (joined) table in labelling the countries. I have set up a Label expression as follows:
Function FindLabel ( [CNTRY_NAME], [World Emergency Numbers.Country], [World Emergency Numbers.Ambulance], [World Emergency Numbers.Fire], [World Emergency Numbers.Police] )
FindLabel = [CNTRY_NAME] & " " & [World Emergency Numbers.Country] & " - Ambulance: " & [World Emergency Numbers.Ambulance] & " Fire: " & [World Emergency Numbers.Fire] & " Police: " & [World Emergency Numbers.Police]
End Function
And this works fine, within the map display when labels are turned on for the layer, looking something like this:
Iran - Ambulance: 115 Fire: 125 Police: 129
However... I would like these labels to be stacked labels. Apparently I can use the VBScript special character vbNewLine to do this. I have tried, and must be doing something wrong, as I receive a Syntax error when I try to Verify what I have done. The trouble is that I do not know WHERE to insert this vbNewLine, nor HOW to insert it. Could someone out there please send some help by email? Please send to my email only, and when I have the problem solved from the responses, I will publish a summary for the List.
Thanks in Advance.
Cheers,
George.
