Due to some limitations in the tools I have available, I joined the two layers together using a spatial join. I can see in the attribute table a new column called distance. However, I don't know what this distance is in. Is it miles? Kilometers? I have no idea. </P><P style="min-height: 8pt; padding: 0px;">&nbsp;</P><P>Thank you!</P><P style="min-height: 8pt; padding: 0px;">&nbsp;</P><P>Nicole</P></BODY></HTML> Wed, 23 Jul 2014 20:30:05 GMT NicoleB 2014-07-23T20:30:05Z Distance Between Points https://community.esri.com/t5/geoprocessing-questions/distance-between-points/m-p/513371#M17044 <HTML><HEAD></HEAD><BODY><P>I need to find the closest distance between two types of points.
