Questions tagged [arcgis-9.3]

Use this tag when ArcGIS 9.3 is the version you are using from the ArcGIS platform.

The arcgis-9.3 tag is used to let potential answerers know that you are likely to be trying to implement their advice using ArcGIS 9.3.

The same solutions may or may not work at earlier or later versions so this prevents potential answerers providing solutions you are unable to use. They may not be using the same version as you but they are likely to know whether the advice they give can be used at both versions.

Using an arcgis-9.3 tag does NOT mean that any issue you are asking about is confined to that version.

It is recommended that you also apply an ArcGIS product tag like arcgis-desktop, arcgis-server, etc.
