hi,

the fact that there are more resources and help on ESRI, means it will be easier for me to implement a system on this platform. At a beginner level like myself, it is important to have some good books handy to be able to cope.

thank you sir.

in case there are any other sites/forums which you think may help me, please let me know.

i think your comments and views have helped me a lot in clearing my misunderstandings on mappoint etc.

regards,

- Prakash
