Domains NOT working

Question

Greetings-

I am having some issues with a select number of domains in a specific feature class. I have a file geodatabase build for my Water Infrastructure system. I have multiple "Domains" built for different fields in different feature classes 
so editing the attributes is easier. Problem: In my wLaterLine feature class - none of my Domains work. I can go into the feature class in ArcCatalog and reset the domains - open the .MXD the geodatabase is in and still not have any drop downs. I don't have any issues with any other feature classes, just this one. How can I fix this?

Thanks

Jessica  This is a very old thread. I'll suggest you create a new Post with all the relevant details.

You should also contact Esri Tech Support if possible, share with them your testing observations and check with them.

I have a similar problem.  I have a geometric network in a file geodatabase and the first time I used the domains after making them they worked.  The next time I was in the project all domains stopped working.  I tried everything--removing the domains from the fields, deleting the domains, re-creating them from tables, re-applying them to the same fields...still won't work.  I tried to edit in a whole new mxd too.  None of them are on a subtype field, all are appropriate data types for the fields they are assigned (just cause I know people will ask these questions).

It is weird they worked at first than just stopped working.  Is this a known bug, perhaps some kind of incompatibility with feature classes in a geometric network?

Hopefully you won't have to do it again, if you do try this http://help.arcgis.com/en/arcgisdesktop/10.0/help/index.html#//001700000022000000http:// tool and then use the other one called Table to Domain to import them back. It'll at least save you having to copy a large amount of material. There's also this tool http://resources.arcgis.com/gallery/file/geodatabase/details?entryID=D62A883B-1422-2418-8873-5721AB32134Dhttp:// which can help when handling domains.
