Thanks to everyone who responded to my problem with points. My mistake was with showing Lat as the "Y" value and Long as the "X" when creating points. I had them the other way around. Regards, Jim Schumm >>> "ZONING ADMINISTRATOR" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> 02/03/00 12:54PM >>> Did you use the Create Points utility from the Table Menu and assign the proper columns of your spreadsheet to Lat and Long? Were your Lats and Longs in Decimal format? Did you use negative numbers for East and South and positive numbers for North and West instead of N, S E and W? You need to answer yes these questions.

The scales seem to be way off and I guess I figured it should be easier than it is. Any help would be great. Thanks. Jim Schumm ====================================================== James R.
