I've never found one. I suspect that the programming to fix the things you mention would not be too difficult, but as you point out, the modifications wouldn't be there the next session so why bother. A suggestion someone made previously that would improve data entry and edit of attributes is to provide an option to go to a single record vertical layout. I still like that solution. regards, Larry On Wed, Dec 24, 2008 at 11:51 AM, Sunburned Surveyor < [email protected]> wrote: > Does anyone ever get frustrated with the user interactions involving > the attribute table?
