Store relative path names + rebuild: FID

[ThibautDelaere1]

Does the option 'Store relative path names' work in ArcGIS 10?

I keep seeing the original location path when the option box is checked. Also when the workspace is moved (including the reference data), I can't rebuild the locator. I got the message that the locator is broken, and I have to fix it manually.

Another problem occurs when I wan't to rebuild an address locator and I had to update the path to the reference data. I can't refer the FID field to the object Id field of the data. It doesn't appear in the dropdown list. So I can't rebuild the locator.

Anyone who can help me out?

I recently discovered this issue and subsequently this thread.  I am downloading copies of a fgdb with locators to muliple machines and portable hard drives.  Having a locator that uses the local "relative path" is important! I look forward to a fix for this issue.

After migrating to 10.1 we moved our geolocators (set to store relative paths) to a new server, but still see the old path listed for the Primary Table. Is this still an issue, or did we miss something in the transfer?

Is NIM078367 the bug# for this?

I'm running 10 sp5 and still having trouble with relative paths in the locators.... though I believe the locators that I'm using are from 9.x...

P.S.  Also, the paths I'm having issues with are paths the the .sde connection files for locators stored in ArcSDE 9.2...

I have service pack 5 and am still encountering this bug.  Is it still a problem if a map was made in 10SP3 but opened and saved by someone with 10SP5?  It doesn't work when we do this.  Is there a way to insure an MXD is saved in SP5 format, or is it not an MXD problem, but a problem with the ArcGIS itself?

We are still seeing the problem when moving locators to a geodatabase using ArcGIS 10.1 with SP1 and all hotfixes with PostgreSQL 9.05.
