What type of layer is it, or is it all layers in the map?</P><P>It sounds like you have addressed any potential problems with the ArcMap installation. Does this behavior occur in other map documents, or just this one?</P><P>If just this one, you could run MXDdoctor (in your start menu under ArcGIS) against your map and see what it comes up with.</P><P>Regards,</P><P>Jim</P></BODY></HTML> Tue, 28 Apr 2020 15:06:00 GMT https://community.esri.com/t5/arcmap-questions/layer-dropdown-grayed-out/m-p/711888#M1444 JimCousins 2020-04-28T15:06:00Z Re: Layer dropdown grayed out https://community.esri.com/t5/arcmap-questions/layer-dropdown-grayed-out/m-p/711889#M1445 <HTML><HEAD></HEAD><BODY><P>I talked with Esri support about the issue. It has to do with my VPN and remote connection.</P></BODY></HTML> Tue, 28 Apr 2020 15:39:29 GMT https://community.esri.com/t5/arcmap-questions/layer-dropdown-grayed-out/m-p/711889#M1445 AshleyPeters 2020-04-28T15:39:29Z
