I've had similar problems with labeling parcels. There is NO magic bullet. I have pounded my head on this problem for way over a year as I have tried to create a digital parcel map. I have tried all of the things that have been mentioned here. What I finally did was create different labeling classes for the parcels. You know where it asks if you want to label everything the same under the label tab? I used the [SQL Query] button to set up the size requirements for a specific class to be able to label. For example, I originally set up 3 different classes "small .5-3acres", "med 3-7acres", "large >7acres". Then, for the small class, I set the SQL query to only label if the acreage size was less than 3 acres and greater than .5 acres. The smaller parcels I labeled with really small text and I abbreviated the text. Then, with the larger parcels, I used larger text and allowed the label to display 20 characters before I truncated the owner name. Then, on the really large parcel, I allowed everything to be shown. After playing with that for a while, I saw that there were still parcels that weren't labeling correctly, so I had to expand and refine the sizes of the classes. I now have about 7 classes. I built this for something that would be used over and over again. I made it into a service that can be displayed at a bunch of different scales. (once again not what you are doing) But, I set up 13 levels of scales for my labeling. I know that this isn't the magic bullet that you were looking for. It was a pain in the behind. But, I needed something that was going to work for a big project that would be used over and over and served out over the intranet. Good luck!

Ahh... Anthony, this might be what I am looking for. I'm going to give it a go. Thanks for your quick response. If anyone else has other options, I'd be willing to look at them also.

I need a tool that will allow me to reset the data sources on MXD's. We are upgrading our servers, I need to go through all of our MXD's that we use to create our services and change them so that they see the new data source. If the link to the current data source was broken, then you can just click on the red exclamation point and set the data source for all of the broken links in one fell swoop. However, the link won't be broken, I just want to point the MXD to look at a different source.

By the way Jason, I like your graphic. I felt like breaking my computer several times while figuring it out. Now that I have everything working. I'm a lot calmer. Dave

I have a new Windows 8 desk top computer. I'm having some difficulty getting ArcGIS Desktop to run on it. Has anyone else had a similar problem? What were some of the steps taken to solve the problem. Could this have to do with Windows 8 being 64 bit and ArcGIS being 32 bit? Is there a 64 bit version that I should look for?

Hi Mark and Curtis, Mark, you are right! There is a place to change the number of records that are returned. The number that needs to be changed is at the bottom of the Parameters tab on the service properties. Though we work with Curtis, we really don't get a chance to talk to him except through the ArcGIS Forums. Haha.... Thanks for your help! Dave
