Unable to save edits

Just got back from UC2015, and getting the attached error on simply editing a point file in a file geodatabase.

The dialog box is titled, "Save Edits"

Unable to save edits.

Error stopping an edit session with save edits [layername]

OK.

This is not OK. I don't have any query layers involved, and I have pulled this layer into a brand new map file, same results.

This message is so vague that I don't know where to start. I did check to see if there were lock files hanging around, didn't find any.

Thanks for any suggestions on this.

Hi Amy,

Try copying the feature class to a new File Geodatabase and see if you are able to reproduce the error.

Amy,

A similar issue came-up before - I found an archived topic that suggests it was an IT/Systems issue:

Problems Saving/Accessing Data on a virtualized file server

I tried your suggestion, and I CAN save with the copied feature class in a new file geodatabase. So what does this mean about my original geodatabase?

Your File Geodatabase may be corrupted. I would recommend the following:

1. Create a new File Geodatabase

2. Copy/paste the data from the previous File Geodatabase to this one

3. Delete the old File Geodatabase

4. Rename the new File Geodatabase to that of the old one

Hi Chris,

Where is the archived topic that suggests it was an IT/Systems issue? The URL you suggested doesn't work anymore.

Many thanks

Esri will probably need to confirm, but it looks like the archived forum (http://forums.esri.com) have been uber retired.
