Bug
Adding an ArcIMS service to ArcMap by clicking a GND file on a web page does not work consistently if ArcMap is not already open. If ArcMap is not open, clicking a GND file should always launch ArcMap and add the service. This is affecting many portal and clearinghouse websites where ArcIMS services are accessed by clicking on GND files
