ArcGIS Explorer Desktop Doesn't Display SDE Info

[GregorySlutz]

When I click on an SDE 9.3.1 layer in ArcGIS Explorer Desktop 1500 no info is displayed about the layer. For a shapefile the attributes display with no problem.

Is there a way to display the atrributes for an SDE layer in ArcGIS Desktop 1500?

Thanks,

Greg

I am able to successfully pull attribute information from SDE 9.3

Make sure that you have the sql native client installed
(this is for X86) http://download.microsoft.com/download/0/E/6/0E67502A-22B4-4C47-92D3-0D223F117190/sqlncli.msi
Then dont forget that data expansion packhttp://gisupdates.esri.com/ArcGISExplorer/Build1700/ArcGISExplorerDataAccessDownload.exe

After that I would create a lyr file in ArcMap and (in 10) right click goto to properties and the very last tab it says HTML Popup make sure that the 'show content for this layer using the HTML popup tool' is checked, save to a lyr file

after that open AGX and add the newly created lyr file, double click any of its features and viola!! you can now see the Attrib info for the lyr file
