ArcView 3.x theme definition queries are not preserved when imported as layers

Last Published: April 25, 2020

Description

Definition queries on ArcView 3.x themes don't get imported when importing ArcView 3.x documents into ArcMap.

Cause

The syntax for these queries doesn't match the DBMS specific SQL syntax that ArcGIS uses for definition queries for layers.

Solution or Workaround



Recreate the definition query using ArcMap rather than copying and pasting what ArcView 3.x used.
