When I run the point distance analysis it continually fails with a 99999 error. I need to repro the 999999 error you have seen with Point Distance. Could you help by clarifying? Just to be sure - you have few input points (26?)and more than a million near points, right? Which version of ArcGIS you are using? Which OS you are working on? ... View more

...but why enter only a small number like 105 for 26? Enter the largest of possible numbers you expect. You can enter a very large number if you wish. Just remember that a very large number may take longer for the tool to run. So, be within necessary maximum. Also, don't enter a radius at this point. Radius takes precendence over the last parameter. You will need to combine this step with the steps proposed by Dan. So, urban land use centroids are your input features and various places are your near point, right? ... View more

Does this tool only select the nearest centroid to that pcs_point for each centroid? How have you set your Find only closest feature parameter? Make sure it is unchecked. Then enter a number for the last parameter Maximum number of closest matches - enter maximum of the numbers, such as, enter 105 from 26, 100, 105. ... View more

... but you can only run within 15 miles? I used 15 miles as an example (got it from your first post). If you leave out the search radius (blank) then distances to all places will be calculated. Is there a number of points you can run the distance too? Use Generate Near Table tool. Uncheck Find only closest feature and enter the number in the Maximum number of closest matches parameter. ...

The Point Distance tool will return distances from each centroid to each of the places within your search radius of 15 miles. If you, for example, have 10 places within 15 miles of centroid 1 then you'll get 15 rows in the output table for that centroid. You'll get kind of a distance matrix but arranged in rows. The Distance field in the output table will show the distance between a centroid and a place. Have you run the tool this way? Which version of ArcGIS you are using? ... View more

@Marty: With 10 sp3 I still cannot repro it on my machine (XP). Little more info will be helpful: Feature geometry of target and number of features Feature geometry of join and number of features Your operating system and RAM ... View more

Could you please be little more specific on your data (size, how many features in target and join featur classes) and Spatial Join parameters? Are you modifying the field map or keeping the default? Is it JOIN_ONE_TO_ONE or JOIN_ONE_TO_MANY? Keep_all? As I cannot repro it locally I'm trying to mimic your scenario. Best would be if you could share your data. ... View more

I'm still unable to repro - tried on both 10 sp1 and sp2. Among many scenarios, the cause of your error may be data-specific. Could you share your data? ... View more

You just create a Model with your input features as a model parameter. When you run the tool with some features selected, it will process only the selected features. If no feature is selected then it will process all features. You don't need to prompt the user to select. All model tools works the above way. ... View more

In ModelBuilder, create a variable (right-click and select Create Variable ...) of String type. Make it a model parameter. Refer to this variable to Calculate Field as an inline variable.
