I was a MapObjects developer for many years and getting back into it. Fresh install with point feature class and attribute table in SQLExpress geodatabase. Needs to be ArcMap I think for my applications, since will be using ArcObjects for desktop apps eventually. I can usually find workarounds and fixes when it is user environment, data issues or when software being slightly temperamental. Seems like the toolbox functions for database work are shaky (at least with SQLExpress geodatabases) and I also had it crash a couple of times when doing spatial adjustments to maps. I just can't waste a lot of time with simple things like joins not working correctly, so if I need to back up a couple of versions, I'd like to know which one is thoroughly proven. Sorry so many words! Anyone - please let me know what you think. Frank
