Additional Information
We apologize that we were unable to address this issue within the current product support cycle. If the issue continues to affect your work in a supported release, please contact Technical Support.Workaround
1. Export the table through excel (MS Office 2003) to dbIV2. Create a new DBF table in ArcCatalog and add a field type=double; with appropriate precision and scale settings to allow for numbers greater than 11 digits (as in the Excel table attached to this incident). The default Precision (15) and Scale (6) properties for the resulting DBF are not appropriate for the data being exported.Steps to Reproduce
