Thanks for a long answer. I think I understand better how the tools are meant to be used, but I still have problems with the annotations. I have the labels stored in a Carto layer, ADHP_C, in a textfield called Label1_Txt with Length = 2500 and expressed as a VBScript (generated from Calculated Field function). When running Create feature-linked annotation tool should the text expression get copied to the field "Textstring" in the annotation class, but sometimes this field becomes empty, populated with null valus. It does not happen all the times, for some feature classes it works all the times, but for ADHP it works on the first map sheet but not for the rest. I have tried different cases a lot of times but have not figured out what makes it work and why it does not sometimes. Have you heard of this problem or have any idea what the problem might be? I put a Line Callout as a text frame in ArcCatalog on the empty annotation layer before running the tool.

Thanks for the answer. I guess we just have to wait and see then...

Can you explain the difference between 'Create Feature-Linked Annotation' and 'Update Annotation' on the Aeronautical Annotation toolbar? I have a map instance and have populated rows in a Cartolayer for this instance and created annotation for the objects. I move the position for some of the text elements and export to a map. After a while I want to make edition 2 of the same map instance where some objects have been deleted and some new have been created. After updating the Cartolayer, which tool should I use - create annotation again or only update annotation? If an existing name have been changed I do not have to do anything since the text is feature-linked with the Cartolayer and updates automatically. Is this correct? The important thing for us is that all text that have been moved from their original position to a better cartographic position will keep their new position since it is time-consuming to work with texts.

We use a text field called Label_Txt as output for the labels using Calculated Fields with the tool Calculate Visual Specifications. Sometimes it's works, but sometimes we get error message Can not apply changes to Cartolayer. COM error: "Odefinierat fel". We have got the advise to use another field name for example Label1_Txt and this works for this instance, but on the next map instance this new field doesn't work either. I can not change to a new field name for each time I want to make a new map so what is the problem with those label fields? Our database is stored in ArcSDE an we use 10.0.
