Hi!
Iam a newbie with ArcGIS;

I will like to know if it is possible to "inquiry" objects to know a distance between two points with 2 shapes files

Shape files with points. (Each point have a number)

Hi Sylvain,

Assuming you need the straight line distance you can have a look at the Near tool: http://resources.arcgis.com/en/help/main/10.1/index.html#//00080000001q000000. As you can see from the help it will find the distance from the point featureclass to the nearest position on the line featureclass.

If that's not what you need, you can try describing your problem more closely.

You are describing a Network Analyst problem. You need that extension to trace road segments between two destinations along the shortest path. You also have to create a Network Dataset from your road network to use the tool. Look in the help for Network Analyst and then you may want to go to that Forum topic to ask more questions.
