Oct 19	comment	Which ArcGIS product gives full 3D terrain navigation and (flight) simulation? Seconded that Google Earth will be better. The rendering (at least in 9.2, the last time I tried it) in ArcGlobe is horrible. I tried every setting I could think of and the final rendered product still didn't look anywhere near the quality of on-the-fly Google Earth rendering.
Oct 18	comment	Managing ArcGIS floating licenses Exactly the same thing you're doing. It's just a lot more manageable since we only have four people who could hit two ArcInfo licenses.
Oct 16	comment	Why do simple joins on small datasets slow down ArcMap so badly? @Matt Wilkie: You're right; I only use SDE (and shapefiles very infrequently) so I often confuse file/personal geodatabases. How does one create indexes on a file geodatabase? Are there ArcTools to do that?
Oct 16	comment	Why do simple joins on small datasets slow down ArcMap so badly? @Swingley's question may be the answer to your problem. Joining on a non-indexed column will seriously slow things down. You'll likely get a large increase in speed simply from creating an index on that field. You may also need to move things from a file geodatabase to SDE; Access isn't the fastest thing on the block so switching to SqlServer or Oracle could also help you with speed issues.
Oct 15	comment	Mosaicing many large ECW files for display in ArcGIS Server apps Do you have SDE? Or Image Server?
Oct 13	answered	Can ArcPublisher 10 publish backwards to an 9.3 PMF?
Oct 12	comment	Dissolve not working in ArcGIS 10 @Kevin Don't forget to accept CDBrown's answer, since this answered your question. It's always nice to give thanks where it's due.
Oct 9	accepted	How do I export metadata to HTML format via ArcGIS 10?
Oct 8	comment	slow to draw mapservices after access featureLayers within an ESRI Mapservice using Javaascript API Both www.co.frederick.va.us/planning/newmap6.htm and www.co.frederick.va.us/planning/newmap6.html threw a 404 error. Did you move it already? Or are you not having redraw issues any more? (Also, you may want to open up a new question with this issue, since "talking" in comments is sometimes non-productive, and asking a question usually brings a broader audience into the issue.)
Oct 8	comment	Edits in SDE not showing up in AGS GeoData Service It still sounds like caching me be an issue. The only reason I keep going back to that is that restarting the service "fixes" the issue. I would try resetting the REST cache or restart the IIS service to see if that helps (and if it does, I'd really like to see someone's answer as to how to reset IIS or the cache automatically after edits; I've been resorting to manual resets).
Oct 8	comment	why is my findTask Not working correctly? can someone please look at my code and see if I have missed something? What do you mean by not working correctly? Is it returning bad results, no results when it should, erroring out, etc.? (Also, to fix how the code appears above, select all of it (from your doctype all the way down to your last div) and then click the code button (1's and 0's) above the editor textbox.)
Oct 8	comment	How do I export metadata to HTML format via ArcGIS 10? I'm in the same boat as you, AG10 against SDE 9.3. Thanks for the info.
Oct 7	comment	why is a gdb query WHERE clause invalid according to the ArcGIS REST API? Very glad to hear that.

Oct 7	comment	Can ArcEngine resolve unstructured address data? @iterationx Ouch. Good to know, though. It provides a reasonable level of comparison if management here ever questions our current costs.
Oct 7	comment	Edits in SDE not showing up in AGS GeoData Service I'm not sure if you're using the REST API to access your data, but have you tried resetting the REST cache to see if that helps?
Oct 7	comment	Unable to Reconcile @George Surgery in the field is never fun.
Oct 6	comment	Can ArcEngine resolve unstructured address data? Google maps is easy to use and updated pretty regularly. I don't remember the details about licensing exactly, but, per this document, as long as you're not charging a fee (and have an iGoogle account, and get a code from them permitting access to the API, and agree to the privacy stipulations), you can use the API free of charge.
Oct 6	comment	Do shapefiles sometimes contain the necessary data for address resolution? So, to actually answer your question, open up the shapefile in ArcMap or the DBF in Excel/Foxpro/dBase and look for those fields that would indicate a street name/number. If you see only numbers in the data, there's probably not enough information in that shapefile for you to do a reverse geocode.
Oct 6	comment	Do shapefiles sometimes contain the necessary data for address resolution? As Brad mentioned in his answer, there are usually additional fields included in the shapefile that indicate further details about the feature, such as the Lmin and Lmax for street numbering. I have only personally worked with street center line layers or parcel layers that included a specific street number and street name (which makes it easy to do a quick SQL query to get the feature id and zoom to that feature), though I imagine there are numerous other methods used to get to a unique location without those details.
