The new data (the new records I'm going to add to the shapefile) I was given is in Excel. These records are new facilities that will be added to the old facilites that are in the shapefile. In the attributes list of these new facilites, there is no latitude and longitude, but attributes such as name, address, zip code, year the facility was built, etc... As you said I have to geocode the new data and merge it, can you tell me how I can import this Excel file into ArcGIS and then geocode it? I think I have to create shapefile with this new data before I geocode it, right? If so how can I create a shapefile with this new data in Excel? I am not sure, but can I create a shapefile with this new data by importing it into Mcrosoft Access to create a table with it and then import this table into ArcGIS? Thanks. You should geocode the new data separately then merge the two files together ... View more

The new records  I added to the shapefile (as well as the old records that were put in the shapefile by the person who created the shapefile) are facilities on a city map. There is no longitude and latitude in the attribute table of this shapefile, but attributes such as name, address, zip code, etc... Is this a point shapefile?  If so, maybe you can do a field calc on the fields holding the x and y coordinates using getx and gety on the shape field which should be available through the field calculator. ...

Because they new records I added to the shapefile are new facilities(buildings). In attributes of these new facilities there is no longitude or latitute but attributes such as their name, their address, zip code, ect.. When I did add new features in ArcGIS Edit session, I just dropped these new points(new features) anywhere on the map as I didn't know where on the map the point should be dropped for the new facilities. As I dropped a point anywhere on the map for each new facility, will arcGIS put each new facility in the exact place it should be on the map of the city?   If you added them in an ArcGIS session why would you need to geocode them.  They should already be placed where you want them.  Typically geocoding is performed on a set of data that is not a shape file or feature class. ...
