I think you accidentally removed parts that are necessary for the code to work? i.e Line 6 and Line 11. On a side note, this code will work for 10.1 and up. the Data Access module was introduced at 10.1. I am only on 10 and can't test it. But thanks anyways, I'll keep it in my back pocket.with ...

what comes to mind is creating a TIN from your data and using your buffer polygon as your clip so you only get the data inside the buffer distance you provide, you can  then convert that to a raster if you need it to be a raster. See here for the the Create TIN tool ArcGIS Help 10.1 Cheers ... View more

I would love to see the code as well if that would be possible. This could same me quite a bit of time. Thanks! ... View more

There's something wrong with your geometry of the shp file you uploaded. The strange thing is I ran the Check/fix geometry tool that is provided with ArcGIS desktop and there were no issues found. I still suspected the geometry issue and then ran the Fix Geometry tool from ET Geowizards and  that fixed the issue. I attached the file for you that should be good to go. ... View more

Do you have much experience with Scripting? I suggest taking quick read at this PDF that goes over some basic Arcpad and VBScript http://arcscripts.esri.com/data/as15207.pdf Also try downloading  these scripts Basic ArcPad Script Examples They can help you understand a little bit more of how to do things. Sorry I'm not of much help with the actual coding, at this point it's been a long time since I last coded but I know I used those two resources when I was first starting to code. Cheers ...

Intersect your lines to vegetation which will break up the lines to what falls inside the vegetation polygons. If you need some attributes transferred from the vegetation layer, you would then run the spatial join with the layer created above and your vegetation. Finally, simply calculate the length of the lines that fall within each vegetation polygon. Cheers ... View more

You would have to write a VB script or JavaScript for your forms in order to do this. I haven't programmed for ArcPad in quite some time but there should be plenty of documentation on how to do this. Here is a sample of someone that asked a similar question Script Subtracting Fields to Populate Another Field in ArcPad 10 ... View more

You would have to create rasters for each of your barriers and add them to the existing terrain. And then use that new "terrain" to perform your viewshed analysis. If you look through the link below, it gives you an overview of how to do this. ArcGIS Desktop Cheers ... View more

No problem, just keep in mind if you are going to maintain the excel route, that if you want multiple people access the spreadsheet at once you will run into issues. ... View more

I would suggest taking it out of excel. Excel and ArcGIS have a lot of limitations and issues, such as if two people are trying to view the spreadsheet at the same time, only the person that accessed it first will be able to use it, the other would have to wait, in SQL this would not be an issue, multiple users can connect and view the data. To clarify the view, it is somewhat like a table, there are fundamental differences between a view and a table and I'm sure some database guru might cringe at the way I am explaining it but when you connect to the SQL database that contains a view, it will show up as a "table" that you would be able to add to ArcGIS and perform whatever analysis that is needed.

The database you mention, is it a file geodatabase? SQL? Access? I am not a database expert myself but what I have seen our database people use in the past is creating views in SQL that break down the data into smaller more manageable pieces. The database admin would have control of which views to create, what data to show, how to break it down, etc.  Then the users would be able to connect to the pre-filtered SQL view in ArcGIS and not have to deal with the large database but at the same time allows you to maintain the entire database as one. Another advantage of this is, if your original database tables do change, the views will reflect those changes as well, and you don't have to re-export or have multiple copies that need to be removed from MXDs or other services that use that data. ...

it's a known limitation of Excel and ArcGIS. For now there is no way of having Arc and Excel having the same spreadsheet open at the same time, unless of course you make a copy of that spreadsheet. ... View more
