Obtain attributes from points within a buffer

How do I select points that are within a 5 metre radius of points in a different layer and extract the attributes from those points?  So ideally I want to produce a table that has a column of all the points from the source layer, with columns for attributes of the points that fall within the buffer of the source point.  Most points will only have one point within the buffer but there might be occasions where more than one point fall within the buffer.

Thanks!

Make sure the data frame is in projected coordinate system (unit: meters).

You could use Select by Location.

Method: "Are within a distance of Source Layer Feature"

Distance= 5 m

Once selected, export the selected features/attributes as desired.



Think Location

But select only selects them and doesnt indicate the original point feature that they are located next to.  I have managed to do it by using generate near table and then attaching the attribute tables outside of arcgis by database techniques i.e. matching object_ids.
