Thanks George. I had forgotten about the select by attributes link from the tables. Would be far easier if they were all located in the one place. I did a search in the ESRI help documentation but that brought up Select by attributes as opposed to Select by attributes, which is what I required. Note that they are both called Select by attributes but they are not the same, although they look and feel very similar. Perhaps ESRI should rename the table one Select by table attributes and the other Select by feature attributes, although may be that would still confuse users. I'm not going to look a ArcGIS Idea because I feel something like this won't be of interest to people/ESRI. Kind regards Tim

Hi there Does anyone know how I do a select by attributes query on an attribute only table located in a file geodatabase. When I select, select by attributes, it only gives me a choice of layers and of course, unless I am mistaken, an attribute table can't be a layer. Kind regards Tim

Hi there I created a model which included creating attribute indexes and 2 attribute joins. This was done in ArcGIS 10sp4. The first two joins were tables in a file geodatabase. The final final was a polyline feature class. For the final part of the model I tried to find an export function, similar to save data when righting clicking on a layer in the table of contents, as I needed a new fully editable table. I couldn't find the same function so I ended up using the feature class to feature class tool. After running the model, I looked at the resulting exported feature class, only to find all the fields which were joined to the polyline feature class contained null. I looked at feature class from which this was copied from and that contained all the additional data from the joins. Does anyone know what I have done wrong? I expected all the join data to be included when running the feature class to feature class tool, especially as the attribute field headers were brought across. I then tried the same thing again, this time without using model builder and doing each step myself. For the final stage I just selected 4 rows of data and didn't select Keep All (optional)? and it worked. Does anyone have any ideas as to what I may have done wrong with my model? If I need to explain things further I can. The problem I have with the model is that it took 54 minutes to run. Most of that time was spent doing the feature class to feature class stage. There were 6819 records to deal with at this stage, not forgetting the joins that were in place. Kind regards Tim

The answer appears to be yes because their is an INSPIRE template in ArcCatalog. However ArcGIS Inspire Extension page seems to suggest otherwise.

Hi there Do you need the INSPIRE extension for ArcGIS in order to create INSPIRE compliant metadata in ArGIS? At this stage I am not interested in the publishing capabilities of the extension. Kind regards Tim

I think my problem went away. Probably after I restarted my computer. I don't feel that is a good solution to problems, as it doesn't solve the cause but it does work from time to time.

Thanks for your reply I read through the article but it makes for difficult reading because I've never used geometric networks or any of the connect or disconnect commands. As I was connecting to an ArcSDE Geodatabase, which of course cannot have any geometric errors corrected, even those created after the upload of data. In fact if you didn't upload any data you can't have created any errors prior to the data creation. It's one of the negative points of ArcSDE Geodatabases, which has many pluses but when you hit problems like this, you sometimes wonder if this outweighs them. It wouldn't be so bad if complete archives could be exported. Then you could export all the data, clean it and reimport it. Alas you can't do that, which is why problems like this become a much larger issue. Kind regards Tim

I have now resolved the problem now. The MXD I was working from did not have it's spatial reference defined and ArcMap didn't like it. Of course ArcMap being as helpful as it often is, allowed me to trace a complicated feature and only then throw up an error message once I had finished my sketch. On top of that it then deleted my sketch so I had to start all over again. Just one of the ways ArcMap tries to be helpful but fails. Kind regards Tim

Hi there I was reshaping a polygon held in our 9.2 ArcSDE geodatabase using ArcMap 10.0sp4. Once I finalised it I got the error message: The Reshape task could not be completed. All geometries involved in this operation must have the same spatial reference. Does anyone know why I could get such a message? If I selected the layer to digitse then surely it should digitise with the same spatial reference as that layer. I am tracing over existing lines. Kind regards Tim

Hi there I am trying to drop two representations from a personal geodatabase. Each one referring to a different feature class. Whenever I try though, I just get the error messages about the schema being locked by the user ADMIN. Now the computer name listed is my computer and I am the only person logged onto it as far as I am aware. I am using ArcMap 10.0.4 and I am running Windows XP SP3. I did have two copies of the MXD open but I closed both of them down before opening up just one of them and trying this. Either way it made no difference. Has anyone else ever come across this and would someone please be able to tell me what I might be doing wrong? The messages are: Executing: DropRepresentation "Personal_geodatabase\Feature_class_to_drop Start Time: Thu Jun 27 16:47:19 2013 ERROR 999999: Error executing function. Can't acquire an exclusive schema lock Cannot acquire a schema lock because of an existing lock. You attempted to open a database that is already opened exclusively by user 'ADMIN' on machine 'Name_of_machine'. Try again when the database is available. Failed to execute (DropRepresentation). Failed at Thu Jun 27 16:47:19 2013 (Elapsed Time: 0.00 seconds) Kind regards Tim

I am interested in the same thing and didn't find anything answering the question so far. However I have an idea which may work. If you can group your polygons that overlap into distinct groups, it may be possible to create multiple layers of the same feature class with a definition query on each layer. For example I have polygons which I can classify into 15 types. I am fairly confident that within each type no polygon overlaps. It certainly shouldn't be the case. However it is the correct that each type can and sometimes does overlap any of the other 15 types. As I need to make sure I do not have any polygons obscured I need to know which groups obscure other types. Once I know this I can then use hatched fills so the polygons underneath are visible. To help with this I set up 15 layers with definition queries on and then do some select by location analysis. I use it to find any that intersect and also any which are within. This may not help you, especially if you have many records of data which are not easily grouped. Kind regards Tim
