One week and counting...

Well, we're down the the final week before AU 2008.  I am getting extremely excited now.  My presentation is complete, and I'm just ensuring I've covered all of the required content and final tweaks.  

For those attending AU this year, I will also be co-presenting again with Mike Schlosser in the Analyze This! How to use AutoCAD® Map 3D for Geospatial Analysis! So be sure to check out this class as well!

If you have checked out my blog and are going to be at AU, please drop by and hi!

Take Care,
Warren
See you in 7 days!

ArcGIS: Packaging error - General function failure

Image
Whoa... 2 posts within 2 months...  I'm on a roll baby...   :-) In today's episode I want to document what I've discovered with the following lovely error when attempting to create a Map Package: I've had this very insightful (hint:sarcasm) message box pop-up a number of times when trying to create a Map Package.  After much copying/pasting, renaming, re-connecting data sources I finally figured out what the problem was in this particular instance. This particular map had some DWG files connected to the map, and some of these DWG names contained a special character "#", and also contained extra 'dots' in the name to delimit a date.  For example: Name#-2013.04.09.dwg In my testing and trials, removing the '#' symbol did not resolve the issue, and it wasn't until I removed the extra 'dots' in the name that I was finally able to successfully generate the package.  Further testing revealed that the '#' symbol

ArcGIS Collector: Update Error Code 1006

If you happen to come across ArcGIS Collector throwing an error when updating a feature, and the error states something along the lines of: Invalid untrusted Html content detected in field: Have no fear, there is a simple fix.  Well, that is, it's a simple fix if this is 'local' map, not accessible to the general public.  That's only because ESRI doesn't actually 'recommend' this fix. So what is 'this fix' I speak of? A little more background... If you have any fields that contain HTML content, there is a chance that Collector could see that as malicious content, and it will block it.  You can see a list of allowable HTML tags in Collector a this link . In my instance, I am running some database triggers to populate and update a URL field, where
