Just got back from UC2015, and getting the attached error on simply editing a point file in a file geodatabase.

The dialog box is titled, "Save Edits"

Unable to save edits.

Error stopping an edit session with save edits [layername]

OK.

This is not OK. I don't have any query layers involved, and I have pulled this layer into a brand new map file, same results.

This message is so vague that I don't know where to start. I did check to see if there were lock files hanging around, didn't find any.

Thanks for any suggestions on this.

Hi Amy,

Try copying the feature class to a new File Geodatabase and see if you are able to reproduce the error.

I tried your suggestion, and I CAN save with the copied feature class in a new file geodatabase. So what does this mean about my original geodatabase?

Your File Geodatabase may be corrupted.  I would recommend the following:

1.  Create a new File Geodatabase

2.  Copy/paste the data from the previous File Geodatabase to this one

3.  Delete the old File Geodatabase

4.  Rename the new File Geodatabase to that of the old one

Amy,

A similar issue came-up before - I found an archived topic that suggests it was an IT/Systems issue:

Problems Saving/Accessing Data on a virtualized file server

Hi Chris,

Where is the archived topic that suggests it was an IT/Systems issue? The URL you suggested doesn't work anymore.

Many thanks

Esri will probably need to confirm, but it looks like the archived forum (http://forums.esri.com) have been uber retired.
