The Analysis | Query | Range
command 
allows you to select, show, or apply properties
to all objects within a specified distance of the selected object's center.
Select only one object to activate this command. If you would like to
select multiple objects, use Draw | Region
| Buffer.
Query within a specified range from a selected object to select, show, or edit objects or to create
worksheets, reports, layers, or points with the Query within Range dialog.
Action
In the Query within Range dialog, you can choose to Select, Show, Apply Properties, Create worksheet with, Create report with, or Create layer with the queried boundaries in the Action group.
Visible boundaries that fall within the specified distance are selected if Select is chosen.
If you select Show, only boundaries that fall within the specified distance are displayed.
Apply properties to changes the line properties, fill properties, and symbol properties of the boundaries that fall within the specified distance. If you have a hatch or territory map, the fill properties do not change the map since the hatch or territory properties take precedence over fill properties. Density, pie, bar, symbol, flow, and line graph maps all show with the specified color fill in the boundaries. The symbol property change only applies to pin maps. You can specify the queried object properties with the Line, Fill, and Symbol buttons in the Properties group.
Create worksheet with displays the query results in a worksheet window. The worksheet contains all of the available data for the boundary objects that meet the query criteria.
Create report with creates a report on queried objects similar to a Map Document Report.
To create a new map layer of the query results, choose Create layer with.
Select Create symbol on to create a symbol on the boundaries meeting the criteria.
Select the type of object you wish to query (Points, Polygons, Polylines, Rectangles, Rounded Rectangles, Squares, Ellipses, and Circles) from the list box. For example, if you selected a county boundary, make sure Polygon is highlighted to select the areas that fall within the specified distance of the selected county. Clicking on an object once selects it, clicking on it again deselects it. You can select multiple objects in the list by clicking on them once. Check the Include boundaries partially within range box to apply the action to boundaries that do not completely fall into the specified distance from the selected boundary.
Enter a number into the Within box to define the distance you would like to extend the selection from the object. The units of the distance depend on what is selected on the Units page in the Property Manager.
Query Layers
The Apply action to all visible layers check box queries all map layers. Check this box to apply the map query across every layer in the map window.
Data
If you would like to see the data associated with selected objects, use Analysis | Make Report | Records Reports | Boundary. Alternatively, you can use Create worksheet with.
