a Shapefile or Coverage you can Map can reproject the data to another
projections using either method. If you use the Data: Connect you can see the
projection originally assigned to the Shapefile or Coverage in the Data Connect
window. This also works with Personal and SDE Geodatabases. It will not show you
the project at the time you create the connection only after. The import will
list the projection assigned to Shapefiles or Coverages in the Input Coordinate
field shown on the Import Dialog box. The import will not work
Geodatabases.</SPAN></FONT></SPAN></DIV>

shapefiles using the Data: Connect method at least in theory. You must first
check features out. Make the edits then Check them back in. This also
works with SDE geodatabases. It does not work with Personal or File
Geodatabases. It also is not completely stable. Meaning I would always make
sure to be working with a copy of the data so if something happens you
don't loose much.</FONT> </SPAN></SPAN></FONT></SPAN></DIV>
