Hi Joe, Your reply was thorough, instructive, and extraordinarily helpful. It seems to have solved the problem, and I am now getting my map to draw just as I wanted. I can assure you that I will give you full credit. Thank you again. You are a great teacher. Stanley

Take a look at creating a summary table: you can summarize on your region field and then create stats on any other field you may have. Hi Joe, Thank you very much for your response. I am still confused, however. So first, I summarize on the column entitled "region." But then, I have these three questions: > What statistic do I need? The average, the sum, or what, please? > Into what column do I place this statistic? > And here is what really perplexes me: How do I map this data? I guess that I don't understand the difference between an attribute table, to which a shapefile is attached, and a database file. This procedure of creating a summary table apparently creates a database file. But then how do I map the data that gets generated? I am sorry to be so thick on this. Thank you. Stanley

Hi everyone, Among the fields in a shapefile's attribute table are two for state population in 2000 and state population in 2010. For these two, I need to create the percentage change for these and put that result into another field. I will do that with the following formula using the field calculator: PopulationChange = (pop2010 - pop2000) / pop2000 OK. No problem there. But here is what I don't know how to do: Each state is also assigned to a region, and that assignment is in another field. For example, California is in the Pacific Region and Massachusetts is in the New England Region, and so on and so forth. I need to aggregate the population data at this regional level. Thus, I will get the population change from 2000 to 2010 at this aggregated level. I do not know how to do this aggregation using the field calculator. Could someone please tell me how to do this. Thank you very much for your help. Stanley

Hi Anthony, Thank you very much. That solved everything. And I guess that I want to save the data as a shapefile, right? Because the last thing that I need to do is spacial statistics on my x,y data. In particular, I want to find the mean and standard deviation of the points. Stanley

Hi everyone, This should not be that difficult, and once I learn how to do it, I should be all set. But right now, I am confused. I created a database (the extension is .MDB) with about 60 records. Each record has a separate field containing the easting and northing for buildings on my campus (Towson University, in case anyone is interested). The database also has a field for the name of the building and the total area of the building, but it is the location fields that interest me right now. I don't understand how to get those points plotted on my map. If someone could tell me how to do this, I would be grateful. Once I do get those points plotted, then, as I understand the procedure, I should somehow create a layer file for them. Is that correct? Thank you very much. Stanley

Hi Wade, Thank you so much. This was great information, and it solved the entire problem. In fact, I experimented a bit, and I learned that I did not even have to go through the effort of clearing out the white background by means of Photoshop when I did what you advised. Applying the steps that you explained eliminated the white background even when it existed in the original TIFF file. Thanks again. Great work. Stanley

Hi everyone, I am overlaying a TIFF image onto the World Topographic Map that I downloaded from ESRI ArcGIS Online. Now, using Photoshop I have already removed the white background in the original TIFF image. (This was a quick and easy thing to do using the magic-wand tool.) Thus, the TIFF file contains only black showing a map outline, symbols, and words. The problem is that when I add this TIFF file to my map in ArcGIS a white background shows up again. Is there a way to make that white background disappear? Thank you very much. Stanley
