Passing Lat/Long to attributre table

Question

I'm trying to grab the Lat/Long of an existing point file and pass that into the attribute table.  Is there a way to capture the lat/long of an existing point and write it to a field in the table?

Thanks,
Randy

Create lat and lon (Double) fields in the point attribute table, then right click each column header and choose Calculate Geometry. (assuming version 10).

Thanks, that worked.  I also learned the calculation field must be string rather than numeric or the results are unpredictable.
