Select polygons that have points inside

Question

Hi,

I have a polygon layer and a point layer (two separate layers). When overlapping, some points fall into some polygons. I want to select only the polygons that have points inside. How can i do that? Any ways, tools or SQL queries can help?

Thanks!

The tool you're looking for is Select Layer By Location.

You can open it from the Geoprocessing Pane (Data Management -> Layers and Table Views) or from the Map Ribbon:

Parameters:
Input features: polygons

Selecting features: points

Relationship: Intersect

If nothing is found, try using a small Search Distance.
