ArcMap is showing labeling on top of every shapefile. How do I limit the areas where labeling is occurring? For example, I do not want the labeling to appear where there are other shapefiles on top of it. How do I limit labeling where I drew polygons or other shapes? I don't want to have to create a new smaller shapefile and I don't want to have to convert all of the labels into annotation. Thanks!

I don't work with ArcSDE at all, just ArcEditor right now. So again, what is the point of having an OLE DB connection anyway?

I think the main use of OLEDB is to access databases that does not have a direct connect in ArcGIS. Do you mean "access" as in to "get access to"? Why not just create a new connection on a folder in ArcCatalog or the Catalog window? OLEDB connections exists for many types of data that ArcGIS can not read directly. Can you give some other examples? The only reason to use OLEDB for access or Oracle database that has SDE is to look into the metadata files �?? you should not update these so the read only access is not a limitation. Metadata files are usually stored in a text file, correct? I am still learning this software. IF I want to make changes to the Access database should I make the changes in Access and save them in Access? I also read that if you want to make changes to the geodatabase to do it directly in ArcGIS. What happens if I have feature classes that use Access data, and that data is constantly changing. How do I update these feature classes? Thanks again- Have Fun Mody

So I am finally figuring out how to use OLE DB connections in ArcMap, but I have a few concerns: 1. WHY do I need to use an OLE DB connection at all? The Access file (.mdb) appears as a personal geodatabase, with the actual data table shown as a feature class. I can easily drag the feature class into the data frame. Is there something else that the OLE DB connection does? Does it keep the most recent up-to-date data available in real time (even if it is being edited by someone else)? I assume the personal geodatabase/feature classes by themselves are static which need to be refreshed manually in the Catalog window. 2. First I find out that OLE DB files don't have ObjectID fields, and ObjectID fields are needed to edit features in the attribute tables. I use the Make Query Table geoprocessing tool to create an ObjectID field. Is this new table only temporary? Well, even after I added the ObjectID field I read further that you can't edit Access files anyway. Well, I can easily edit the table shown as just feature class without the OLE DB connection, so what's the point in even having the OLE DB connection? Is it just as an alternative to ArcGIS query layers? I don't do too much querying if at all, so it just seems more practical NOT to use an OLE DB connection. What are your thoughts?

I have never worked with database managers, Oracle, Microsoft Server, etc. Are there any good resources that can help me set up a server and then run ArcSDE 10? Thanks-
