ArcMap 10.5.1 Crash when opening Attribute Table

[caroleschlessinger]

ArcMap 10.5.1 crashes every time I open the Attribute Table for a specific dataset. This has been identified as BUG-000101333. Is there a fix yet?

The issue should be fixed with a ArcGIS Desktop 10.5.1 client. There is no need to "update" anything. If you are still experiencing an issue I recommend you open an Esri support case for an analyst to review the behavior.

Yesterday, I had a couple of views in Postgres that were also crashing my ArcMap 10.5.1 when opening the attribute table. It came up to be the type of one of the columns: in the view, there was a CASE with casts to "text" and "character varying" (this one with NO specified size). In the end, Postgres identified the column as character varying and no explicit size. ArcMap identified the field as text, with size 0 (therefore, the crash). After correcting the view to output that column to "text", ArcMap already identified the field as text, but with size 1073741822.

I hope this helps someone.

Cheers!

I faced the same issue in 10.5. I added the Excel sheet in the Table of content and then made a join. Secondly i exported the table as Geodatabse Table and then added back to table of content and made join, it worked too.
