Still getting use to the GeoNet Community ... I clicked Yes on Helpful [which it very much was]; is that the same as correct?  Many thanks. ... View more

That sounds almost too simple! Thanks so much for the quick reply. ... View more

Rebecca, thanks very much for the information.  There are so many ways to do the same thing in ArcGIS, that for those of us who don't do this full-time, confusion sometimes sets in.  I have managed to get my overarching problem solved and now have some time to refine an approach and learn a bit more about how to do things more elegantly and with less effort.  It was kind of you to spend time preparing an answer.  ...

Thanks to everyone for helping me sort out how to get my data moved to a new place.  It is all done and, thanks to you all, have learned a lot about this aspect of the ArcGIS product.  I really appreciate the help. ... View more

I do have layers selected as shown in the screen grab below.  Thank you very much for putting my question in the right slot.  I'm still not entirely sure how to work GeoNet and it shows.  ... View more

Just found it at the top of the page under the Open [who knew] button.  My apologies.  Now to give it a whirl. Bill ... View more

Rebecca, thanks for the pointer.  I read the documentation page, which looks promising, and then went to the page to download the tool.  That page asked that I click on "the attachment below" to download, but, unless I totally missed it, cannot see an attachment link.  I tried this [logged in] on a couple of browsers just to make sure that it wasn't a browser problem, but got the same result on both.  If I makes a difference, I'm using Windows 10 with Firefox to do the internet browsing.  I also tried Edge.  I will say that the machine that I run ArcGIS from is Windows 7 and will remain that way until 10.4.

Thank you very much for pointing me to this. I finally got the network back and have - undoubtedly done the hard way - changed the Data Sources on each of the maps in my maps collection to point to the new computer. My primary map is a collection of georeferenced USGS historic topo quadrant rasters which were attached to the ArcGIS topo base map by dragging them on to it [after each had been individually georeferenced]. Using ArcCatalog I changed the Data Storage locations on each of these individual maps. Each were then opened with ArcMap, and re-checked to be sure that they were collecting data from the proper computer and were properly displaying the rasters. However, to get the USGS historic topo raster images to display I had to open the Link Table associated with the map and then save the map. Once this was done these maps displayed correctly. Other that the USGS raster, there are no other layers associated with these individual maps. All of the feature layers are associated with the primary map. However, the primary map - the one which was assembled by dragging each of the quadrant maps on to it - shows all of the features correctly against the ArcGIS base topo map, but does not show the underlying USGS historic topo quadrant rasters as it use to before the files were moved. In the hope of fixing this, I went to each associated raster file [.jpg] and made sure that the Data Source was pointing to the correct computer. However, making this change did not result in the appearance of the missing rasters on the primary map. Clearly I'm, again, missing something Thanks very much, Bill Cole ... View more

Xander, thanks. I do see the red exclamation icon, I don't though recall if the project was set to relative paths. Unfortunately just I went to sort this out, my SMB network crashed. Will check this out when i'm back up. ... View more
