we have two datasets that contain address data for two different study cohorts from two different time periods.
When the participants entered the study - all we had was the county of residence (counties in Iowa, NC and a few neighboring counties).
On followup data (15-20 yrs later) we (not I) have address data from which lat/long were derived from geocoding in arcmap. Now we are trying to figure out whether residents are in their original county or have moved...IFF a participant was geocoded using a zipcode centroid AND reported one of the many zipcodes that can overlap counties, the overlay of geocoded addresses on the county map doesn't necessarily tell us anything.
I have the NC (and Iowa) county and zipcode boundary maps.
W/ a boring spatial join I know that there are 500+ zipcodes in NC that straddle counties. 2-4 counties being overlapped.
But what doesn't seem to work is using the one-to-many spatial join to get a new table that identifies each county that each of these "multi-county" zips covers. I keep getting "background server threw an exception." What i want is 2-4 records per zip.. I know this has been answered before but i can't dig it up. Running AMap 10.1
thanks so much
