It still wouldn't work, but I noticed, doing an "id" that, since it was a duplicate, it was selecting both points. When I just selected the one point, it worked. Don't know why it wouldn't work when I selected only 1 row in the table, but I am good now. Thanks for the reply.</SPAN></BODY></HTML> Fri, 27 Dec 2013 14:10:33 GMT https://community.esri.com/t5/data-management-questions/delete-a-point/m-p/177677#M10022 MikeHenson 2013-12-27T14:10:33Z Re: delete a point https://community.esri.com/t5/data-management-questions/delete-a-point/m-p/177678#M10023 <HTML><HEAD></HEAD><BODY><SPAN>If you inadvertently select another feature on another layer the delete won't work.
