Workaround
CUSTOMERS PROPOSED RESOLUTIONIf I choose the Append option when converting Labels to Anno, and then browse to my target anno class, ArcMap tacks on the schema owner (in this example, "ARCFM."). The key here is that browsing to the class adds the ARCFM. which is causing the error. If I then manually edit the entry, and remove the "ARCFM.", the conversion tool runs. I would consider this a true bug, because the ESRI dialog window stills shows the "ARCFM." in the Destination field at the bottom of the UI.Attachemnts included in data folderPlease see attached. You will see that the target anno class is wwSuppProjNum, which was manually edited after browsing to it, however the UI still shows ARCFM.wwSuppProjNum as the destination (at the bottom of the UI).On a recently updated anno class, I am still getting the same error as before, when trying to append. The Convert Label to Annotation tool does not appear to like the "." (dot) between my schema owner and the anno class, and is still suggesting an underscore "_" instead of a dot "."I tested this against both a feature-linked and a non-feature-linked anno class (both update to 9.1).Steps to Reproduce
