[CTPP] ESRI Fix for UA Census 2000 TIGER/Line

This message is for users attempting to use ESRI software (ArcGIS) to load the UA Census 2000 TIGER/Line files and have been having problems. I have been informed by ESRI that they will have a fix for ArcGis Monday: ====================================================== I have been working with ESRI technical support on the issue and a document describing how to work around the issues with the new 2000 UA datasets will be online later today or on Monday. The workaround simply requires the user to update two template INFO files that are a part of our install. The online document will describe how to manually do this in ArcCatalog and will also have links to updated files users could just copy. Once these two templates have been updated, the newly updated record type A and S fields will be correct in the coverages created by Tigerarc, Tigertool or the Tiger Wizard in ArcToolbox. I will also have a link to this document put as a hot topic on our support web page. These updates were not placed in ArcGIS 8.2, as the code base was locked down for 8.2 by the time the final UA format file was sent out by the census bureau. We should have had a document prepared for users before now and I apologize for the delay in getting this out. Technical support will handle the support of users having problems with UA datasets and it would be great if you could tell your people to refer users to http://support.esri.com/ for a copy of the document I previously mentioned. ======================================================== Bob LaMacchia
