Thanks Dan. Before I recieved your most recent post, I projected my data in UTM, and 'did the math' within FishNet to accomodate a mile. I quality assured the distance results, and was pleased with their outcome. The only concern was the grid came out with uniform cells from east to west and north to south. They didn't follow the curviture of the projected data, instead were straight. The grid data was also kicked out in UTM, so I'm not sure why this occured. I'll continue to tinker with the projection. Any thoughts?
