What is the simplest way to share a map and data with both ArcGIS 10.0 and 9.3 users, portably?
This question could be rephrased as "Instead of waiting for Esri to (maybe) implement backwards compatible map packages, what can we do?"
Assume that one is starting with project resembling the following, all in v10:
D:\workspace: MyCoolMap.mxd: default.gdb: Transportation\roads Transportation\trails Hydro\Lakes Hydro\Rivers some_random_points a_linked_table a_shapefile.shp a_linked_table_for_fun.csv {some_coded_value_domains} I've tried saving the mxd as 9.3, and then create a map package from that, but get an "error compressing map package".
Using the Feature Class To Geodatabase (Multiple) tool is unsatisfactory because it can't handle Feature Datasets.
Another failed approach was to export the v10.gdb to binary xml and import it into a v93.gdb, ("Import xml data failed. The domain field type does not match that of the field it is being assigned to [feature class name]")
Got any other approaches that might bear fruit?
