Quick post here.
I just wasted about and hour or two because of commas in the row names in a dbf imported into ESRI.
I got “unknown errors” and lots and lots of crashes. But the funny thing was I could display and manipulate the data to my hearts content as long as it was an “Event”.
As soon as I wanted to make my XY events more permanent - BOOM - and a lot of keyboard slamming ensued.
So my question to ESRI is 1) Why let it work at all with invalid characters in the Row names and 2) How about giving me a clue on the error - unknown error is a cop out.
Thats’ all - gotta go fix my personal life now.
