Hi Ben, I also export to .dbf . Seems to work OK for me, so was just wondering what the advantage of the Bridge was. I suppose if you use both ArcGIS and SAS a lot, it saves you from exporting/importing. I thought perhaps that there might be more dynamic integration. For example, run a regression in SAS and have the residuals automatically mapped in ArcMap?

I didn't use the bridge, I use sas to create data that we want to map on,
export to '.dbf' file, then import the data into ESRI's system, that is
it.
I guess if you want to use both system dynamically, you can do it in
simliar way (sas end is not problem for those .dbf data, on ESRI end you
might need to figure out vb script to import data and map it.

thanks
