Excel and ArcGIS 9.2 -- In 9.2, Excel spreadsheets can be added as an XY event theme, meaning you do not need to export your point localities as *.txt or *. dbf anymore (yah!). If you are running 9.1, the USDA Forest Service has a step-by-step worksheet to show how to add a *.dbf as a geodatabase that is handy. Download Worksheet Here
