Documnet Invalid or Corrupt

PRAVINMATHUR — Wed, 13 Jul 2011 14:03:33 GMT

Cannot open a map that is shared. Get a invalid or corrupt error message. Here is the link - http://explorer.arcgis.com/?open=415d314f2c6c461d9d6a6fe614285832
TIA.

Hi Pravink,

Unfortunately we have a known issue in Explorer Online loading a map where the feature attributes contain backslashes. We are aware of the problem and will be releasing a fix in the next release, slated for August.

Until then, I've fixed up, and shared your map without the backslashes. See here:
http://explorer.arcgis.com/?open=09c698abb1f145e5bbd12b520cf3f14e

Let me know when you have saved the map to your account, and I will delete it.

Apologies for the inconvenience.

-Nick

Hi again,

You could try hosting your images on a web server- and then include hyperlinks in the shapefile attributes rather than UNC paths.
