I would like to know how to send the MXD to someone else in a way that would maintain the data sources, and make it so that the person that I am sending this to will not have to fix broken data sources. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.</P><P></P><P>-Jacob Snyder</P></BODY></HTML> Mon, 14 Mar 2016 14:39:07 GMT https://community.esri.com/t5/arcgis-enterprise-questions/sending-an-mxd-file-maintaining-data-sources-which/m-p/441765#M17064 JacobSnyder2 2016-03-14T14:39:07Z Re: Sending an MXD File: Maintaining Data Sources Which Exist on GIS Server https://community.esri.com/t5/arcgis-enterprise-questions/sending-an-mxd-file-maintaining-data-sources-which/m-p/441766#M17065 <HTML><HEAD></HEAD><BODY><P>Hi Jacob.</P><P></P><P>Consider using a Map Package.
