Russel, I'm certainly not an expert on these things but have you tried replacing gis.ararat.vic.gov.an with localhost and see if the test connection works that way. Assuming of course you are on the server Spectrum is installed on.  If it does at least you'll know it's a DNS/firewall type issue rather ...

RE: Smart Text - layer info?

Peter, I was wondering if they could use the Cond() statement.  Basically they want to use the OS copyright unless it's the AtoZ or APGB one.  The layer names for those 2 will always be the same. I'll have a go and seeing if I can construct the statement but I may get back to you if I'm struggling.  ...

John, that was my suggestion too but the problem was some of the users just have their layout embedded in the workspace they use all the time.  Moving from 3 workspace templates to 3 new layout templates probably wont help as the users will still forget to swap. Thanks Nick ------------- ...

Hi,  a client of mine wishes to try and automate the correct copyright text being automatically added to a layout, based on one of three potential basemap layers being included on the map. Currently the users forget to change it and just use the last one they used rather than the correct one!!! ...

Caroline in the expression builder for that layer and assuming the column is called population use : IIF(population > 5000000, population, "") you can get slightly cleverer than that and use the Cond() function if you want to do different labels for multiple different values.  HTH Nick ...

Rachel,  Make sure your map is the active window by clicking on the title.  Check it's not pretending to be the active window because actually you last clicked in the explorer window.  I'm using the same version as you and it works fine for me using the X key.   Active Map window Pretending ...

Rachel, Are the address details exactly the same?  If there is slight variation you may need to map to postcode only, etc. Assuming column called postcode.  SQL would be: Select:  postcode, count(*), centroidx(obj), centroidy(obj) from : mytable Group By : postcode Into : selection This ...

Bryce, Sorry, my mistake. The new Select by Location options is a way of doing spatial joins and dynamic buffers only, you can't actually calculate distances with it.  I think I was just willing it to be part of the options!!! Back to the SQL I'm afraid. Nick ------------------------------ ...
