I found that the file extension that I wanted to use [.odt] was not listed in the Supported file extensions list. Once it was added, all was well. Thank you so much for that pointer.

Thanks for the reference. Haven't looked at this, but it looks like what will solve my problem. Out of pocket today for medical stuff, will tackle tomorrow.

I run Pro 3.6.0. I have a large number of documents that are stored on a local NAS. In ArcGIS I had created a field in the Attribute Table to store URLs for these documents and had included those in an attribute table for the specific feature class . I had formatted a pop-up to display this field. In ArcGIS Pro the value of the field displays but not as a link. Using this YouTube video I entered an HTML formatted entry for one of my old URLs. That entry sort of works in that it displays the link's title in the popup but still does not treat the URL embedded in the HTML code as a link. Here's what the popup displays for the URL field for line 1 on the attribute table shown in the 2nd figure in this post: Popup for Dismal Plantation A copy of the attribute table [with the machine name blanked] shows this: Attribute Table Example Line 1 is the HTML modified entry for the URL field. Line 2 in the value in the URL field as entered for ArcGIS. Advice would be greatly appreciated. Thanks very much.

Thanks so much for the help and advice. This is such a complex product that unless you work with it all the time it seems to me that it is not possible to know its less visible components. Next stop, tech services. Be well.

Sorry, same result: "This container is empty."

Thanks for the suggestion. This will take me a bit as I'll have to uninstall the license on the Win11, reinstall it on Win10, run the Package Project bit, then uninstall on Win10 and install on Win11. Off I go.

Thank you for the thought. When I select Add Data from the Map Layer menu, then Browse and select the Project | Databases, in that window I select and open the database that should contain the project's information. The Browse window displays the message "The container is empty". I'm not sure what this is telling me, but if taken at face value this is a mystery as the selected database [ProBurge.gdb] worked fine under ArcGIS Pro running Windows 10. The file size when copied from my Win 10 machine to Win 11 is exactly the same. There is something I'm am missing/not understanding. Thanks for bearing with me on this. Regards, Bill Cole

Thank you for this information. Apologize for the late reply - long Labor Day weekend. Following the instructions in the ESRI help document on* Repair project items*, I find none of the items in my Catalog pane carry a red exclamation mark. However, the red exclamation mark is applied to *all* of the Feature Classes [FC] that are displayed in the Contents pane. The default gdb is ProBurgess.gdb. When I click on the red exclamation mark on any of the FCs the attached image is displayed. This apparently - unless I'm interpreting it incorrectly - tells me that the default gdb, ProBurgess.gdb, is empty. However this is the same file size that opens properly under ArcMap and used to open properly on my ArcGIS Pro Windows 10 install. I am truly stumped. BTW no matter which of the three gdb's that I have used for this map is opened, all display the message "This container is empty.". [I have three gdbs for this project, of which ProBurgess is one, which I have used to test the Project. Advice is very welcomed. Thank you very much.

I run a single use ArcGIS license. I recently moved a project from ArcGIS Desktop to ArcGIS Pro running on a Windows 10 machine. It worked well, though the transition did take time while I got more comfortable with ArcGIS Pro. Because of the announcement of Windows 10 going "mature" in October 2025, and I being mildly OCD, bought a replacement Windows 11 machine. I uninstalled ArcGIS Pro from the Windows 10 device and installed ArcGIS Pro on the Windows 11 machine. Then I copied the relevant directories from Window 10 to Windows 11 and started ArcGIS Pro using this transferred project. The project, which uses historical maps that have been georeferenced to the base map, opened these maps as it should with the proper extents and the proper the coordinate system. There are, however, two problems: In the ArcGIS Pro Windows 10 installation - which worked fine- I could expand the default geodatabase so that all of the Feature Classes [FC], etc. were listed in the catalog pane. In the Windows 11 installation, even though the file size of the copied geodatabases were exactly the same, down to the file size, under Windows 11 the geodatabase will not expand. Secondly, in the Windows 11 ArcGIS Pro installation in the Contents pane, even though the FCs were listed in their proper order with the proper symbology and even though the source for the feature classes were the same as for the Windows 10 installation of ArcGIS Pro, each FC was decorated with the red exclamation mark [!] indicating that its data could not be found. The source for each of these FCs is the same geodatabase that is not expanding. My guess is that there is some file or link that I have copied or have copied but put in the wrong location - but that is only a guess. Advice would be most welcomed. Thanks very much.

I tested the file:\\\ method with a local C: drive file and was able to open the file from the Pop-up. I then tested this again with a file from a networked device and was not able to open the file from the Pop-up. I'm guessing this is telling me that I have a network permissions problem somewhere. Where, though, is the question.

Thanks for this information. Learn somethings didn't know. When I applied the technique shown in your response, I did not get a clickable Pop-up entry. The screen shot below lays out how I assembled this. Entered the UNC in the Attribute Table's WriteUp column. Then in the Configure Pop-ups pane using the Hyperlink button entered as shown. Finally, the Pop-up itself shows the correct UNC but it is not clickable. Just to be sure that I had this right I copied the UNC from the Pop-up and then pasted into the address bar of my browser. I was able to open the file. I am stumped.

Running ArcGIS Pro v 3.2.1 under Windows 10 22H2.

I have a field in the Attribute Table for a Feature Class [FC] that contains a UNC value that points to a word processed file. The field is called WriteUp and is a text field with a length of 100. Taking instruction from this ESRI web page I entered the UNC for the word processed file into that field. The UNC points to a locally networked NAS box. To make sure that I had permission to access this I entered the UNC into Windows File Explorer and was able to properly access the file. In the ArcGIS Pro pane Configure Pop-ups for this FC I entered a Text element, edited that element using the Hyperlink dialog and entered {WriteUp}, where WriteUp is the name of the field that I want to access in the Attribute Table. On opening the Pop-up the hyperlinked text field displayed the correct UNC but was unable to open the link by clicking on it. When mousing-over the field, the absence of the hand cursor seems to indicate that the link is not available. I have another field in the same Attribute Table called Content which contains a URL for a web site. I built its Pop-up text entry in exactly the same way as the WriteUp Pop-up entry. This works just fine. Here's a screen shot of the Pop-up. Clues would be very welcome. Thank you.

by WilliamCole Wednesday This environment is Windows 10 22H2, Desktop ArcMap 10.8.1 and ArcGIS Pro 3.x. I have imported an.mxd map along with its .gdb geodatabase from ArcMap into ArcGIS Pro. The import brought the Table of Contents from ArcMap into ArcGIS Pro and placed all of the layers as they were in ArcMap. The ArcMap ToC has two groups of layers: the first contains all of the project's individual maps with symbology. The second group contains all of the georeferenced historical "base" maps which are attached to the underlying base via their control tables. In ArcMap, georeferencing an historic map created a control table used to attach that map to the base map. Repeating this process for each of the 30-some historic maps in my project created a "mosaic" of historic maps attached to the base map. [This is not a mosaic created with the ArcMap Mosaic tool. I was learning ArcGIS and didn't know about mosaics until after I had done the georeferencing work.] While this method worked for ArcMap it clearly doesn't for ArcGIS Pro. In ArcGIS Pro I am able to attach one georeferenced .jpg file to my base topographic layer and to import the control table for that raster which places it properly on the base map. However, if I try to add a subsequent georeferenced image with its control table -as I was able to do in ArcMap- ArcGIS Pro asks "Do you want to erase the existing control points?" Answering Yes replaces the existing control points associated with the first raster with the control points for the second raster, thereby placing the first raster image at the location for the second. Answering No appends the second set of control points to the existing control points for the first raster image ... making a mess. What am I doing wrong and what do I need to know to fix this, please? Thank you so much.
