shrug-l: Annotation question SUM

[Elizabeth Brumfield]

I had several responses to my question about non-feature linked 
annotation:

"I have an old, legacy sde layer (parcels) with annotation that has been 
placed, is NOT feature linked, and has no corresponding attribute to the 
underlying parcel layer. I need to compare this annotation layer (well, 
the address part of it anyway), with a point layer of addresses. I have a 
feeling this is something I would do in Access, but I'm not on the right 
track. Does anyone have any suggestion about how to work with these 
non-feature linked anno layers?  Thanks in advance-"

Thanks to Tripp Corbin & C. Henry Depew for their suggestions. In the end, 
I went w/a workaround. I exported the anno to a CAD layer, which put a 
point  at each anno location. From there, it was just a matter of 
scrubbing the data to remove extra anno & then doing a spatial join to get 
the parcel number w/the anno. Thanks for all the help!
