Sean - Can you please explain where you removed the reference scale and the scale dependency? I am having the same problem. In 9.3.1, I get an error; I tried it on our test computer that has 10 installed and it never finished running after about 10 hours. Thanks. I actually got this to work this morning and have been trying to find a moment to post all day.... So sorry if I've wasted your time. I would like to ask, though: What do you mean by setting the labels to a fixed position? What worked for me was removing BOTH the reference scale AND the scale dependency. I was building this annotation to eventually create a contours map service which would eventually become a LYR file for users here.... perhaps I can set some scale dependencies there, I'll have to find a little time to evaluate it. Thanks! Sean
