I am using a demo version of Carlson GIS, and I am working on trying to create a GIS database for a project I am working on.

I have a drawing with approximately 239 lots. I have owner information in the lots, and my primary link between the drawing and the spreadsheet that we created is the parcel id number. The spreadsheet has a lot of data in it. The end result is to be a CAD drawing with attributes that will be imported into a GIS database.

I am having limited success. I am getting different error messages ranging from invalid characters in the attribute names to the GIS links not working.

Does anyone have any tips? I have watched Jennifer Dibona's intro to Carlson GIS webinar numerous times, and I think I am doing everything correctly. I am thinking that maybe my spreadsheet to database conversion is a part of the problem. The spreadsheet is fairly complicated.

Any tips, tricks, or suggestions will be greatly appreciated.

I have never used Carlson GIS but I think ArcGIS struggles with spaces in attribute names so you could try and substitute each space with _
