Hi Ben, Here’s the specs from the “Can you run it” tool that ESRI sent. I know it’s not the best comp, but should be more than enough. Also, update: I sent my data to a friend who has a much newer/better/faster machine and is doing his Master’s in this and he ALSO could not run the basic operations, so there is something bigger wrong here. Starting with a county parcel boundary shapefile and trying to save out new layers by individually joining data to it for a total of 5 new shapefiles. The weird thing is that the data is coming from 3 separate - all reliable and previously used sources in familiar formats - and NONE of them will work. The largest join is a 1-1 match of assessment data to the parcels, but I have never had an issue with that before (and I do this at least 2x/year) but also, sales transactions, USPS vacant properties and those without buildings on them - all would narrow down the 500,000+ parcel file to somewhere between 29k and 120k depending on the dataset. Again, not small, but not uncommon. Weird thing is that 2 weeks ago, I did the assessment join with a public file that worked fine, but as it doesn’t have ownership data, I went and purchased a CD from the Real Estate department - so the EXACT same file, but with owners in it now, and it will not work for the life of me. Sadly, I went back to try to do a clean join with the no owner file and it now will not work either. I already have that one saved from 2 weeks ago, but I do not have any clue what’s happening here… — Evaine K.
