There is apparently a limit on the number of images that can be added to
an ArcGIS MXD. We have experienced this same problem when trying to add
an entire county worth of aerial tiff images. I am not sure what that
exact limit is we have gotten around it by creating a MOSAIC image.

Subject: shrug-l: Is there a limit (# or size) of raster images that can

Is there a restriction on the number of raster images that ArcMap 9.0
can handle? I added about 10 Quads worth of aerials (about 40
Quarter-quads at approx. 7MB each) and received the following Error:
Instruction at "0x76ff4b5a" referenced memory at "0x00000004" The memory
could not be "read".  The application then shut down with the standard
ArcMap.exe has generated errors and will shut down message. =20

There was nothing else on the map; only aerials (.jp2 and .ecw format).
I was adding that many aerials in response to a colleague encountering
this problem and asking me if I'd ever seen it.  I had never put that
may aerials on one MXD, so I just started adding and adding until it
crashed, and I was able to duplicate the error.

Has anyone ever seen this, and if so, do you know of anything that can
be done to use a large number of high quality aerials in one MXD?

Thanks for the assistance.=20
