Thanks Dan! I haven't talked to you in quite a while. Hope all is well with you.
I am working with point and line files. The data is updated and each week I receive a new version of the data. What I'm interested in seeing is where the data has changed geographically, not new data, only modified data. I've tried both options you suggested and the output is messy. My results should be contained to about 50 modifications and the results I get with the tools you've suggested return 1000's - 10,000's attributes.
I think I should be able to put the new data into a tool and find any geographical change to a feature based on the old data. Is that possible with any of the tools available in ArcMap? I've got the Advanced license and almost every extension there is. I'd imagine that someone else has needed this type of function in the past and was really hoping that I could use an existing tool without trying to write a new script or build a new model.
Thanks again for any insight you can provide!
