When I use the concentric buffer tool that is packaged with MI 5.5 I get all kinds of errors I never heard of and are not documented. One I get is "too many open files"  (3 are open) , I have .5 gig RAM , when I try to use the statistics part. Another error is "Cannot include datatype clause if updating existing column" and others. Also the feature to set the appearance of the buffers( color, fill pattern) doesn't work. Generally it appears that the concentric ring buffer tool is not all that good. Would anyone have another one?
 
I need to be able to make concentric rings around a point or polygon and then estimate the covariates on the buffers from data underneath, sum for sure, average and weighted average and count as well - like population from overlaying buffers over census tract data, etc.
 
Thanks a lot
