How to see more than 2000 records in attribute table

SheikhHafiz1 — Fri, 20 May 2016 05:58:58 GMT

Hi,

Can someone please help me in the following regard?

I want to see all the records of attribute table but it shows only 2000 records.

How can I see it?

Any help is appreciated.

Regards,

Hafiz

Assuming you have ArcGIS 10.0 or later, press the "Move to end of table" button in the lower left side of the table window. See the button in the red box in the picture below. The record shown is record 4141 in my table and all records are now visible with normal scrolling and table navigation.

Thank you Richard.

I am just wondering if there is any way to make it default so that any attribute table I open it shows all the records.

Regards,

Hafiz

To my knowledge there is no way to make that a default behavior of the attribute table window.

There is a really good reason this behavior exists. If you open a really big table (say, two million records, not unusual for large datasets stored in an RDBMS) ArcMap could lock up for a good long time.

Would be nice if the value could be modified - I'd probably make it smaller than 2000!

Or at least the default so that you can see how many records are in the table without have to push a button...
