GIS USERS:

A new version of Table2Point is now available -- version 1.3.0.  The new
version provides a checkbox to control whether or not the source table =
is
written to with the projection output.

If the checkbox is checked, then the source table will have the =
projection
output written to it in the X_COORD and Y_COORD columns.  You need write
access to the table for this to happen.

If the checkbox is not checked, a temporary copy of the source table =
will be
created as a file in the directory where the dll is stored called
"TempTable.dbf". Please note that if such a file already exists when the
Execute button is pressed, it will be deleted.  Also, you will need =
write
access to that directory.  The source table will remain unmodified.

Remember that the source table must not be open as an event theme or in =
any
other application while this tool runs, or the tool will fail due to a =
table
lock.=20



The zip file is available at http://bis-4cgxh11/Custom/fdep_arcgis8.htm.


DESCRIPTION:

Table2Point - Converts a table (DBF and ACCESS) with Longitude(X) and
Latitude(Y) values to point shapefile or event theme, transforming and
projecting to the FDEP standard Albers projection.

Input formats: Decimal Degrees (-81.03040), Degree-Minute-Second with =
spaces
(-81 01 49.45), DMS without spaces (-810149.45), DMS in six columns.

Input Datums:  NAD83HARN/HPGN, NAD27, NAD83, WGS72, WGS84.  Datum can =
also be
read from a column in the table for each input point.

Output: an Event Theme or a Shapefile.



Copy the 'DEPTableToPoint.dll' and the folder 'DEPTableToPoint_help' to =
the
same directory (C:/myav8, usually).
The help files in the 'DEPTableToPoint_help' folder are used by the dll =
to
display runtime help, and the folder needs to be in the same directory =
as the
dll and be named 'DEPTableToPoint_help'.

Use the Table2Point_Tutorial.doc to help you install the component in =
ArcMap
and to help you learn to use the tool.

Sample mdb files are provided in the 'SampleTables' folder.  See the =
readme
in that folder for details.


Thank you
