Adding Records to existing attribute table

[JohnMcKeague]

I have been trying to add records to the attribute table. I can input the new records into several fields ok. I assumed that I just had to recalculate the geometry, however, I keep getting an error message: All calculated values are invalid and none of the rows have been updated. Can you walk me thru the correct process. Thanks.

Let's get some nomenclature straightened out first:  you add Values to fields.  A record is a row of fields.  In a feature attribute table, you must first add the feature (point, line or polygon) before you can populate the field values.

Hope this helps-
