In the dialog box check the button "Schema Only" and browse to a location to store an XML file. After that completes, right click on your destination database and, in the Import sub-menu, click on "XML Workspace Document...". Select the XML file you previously created and the geodatabase will have all the same feature classes and tables without the data.</SPAN></BODY></HTML> Fri, 12 Aug 2011 20:42:30 GMT https://community.esri.com/t5/data-management-questions/frustrated-with-arcgis/m-p/460345#M26287 deleted-user-1T_bOHag6M8d 2011-08-12T20:42:30Z
