Creating a new dBASE table

The process of defining the new dBASE table's attributes is separate from creating the dBASE table itself. After creating the item, define its attributes by right-clicking it in ArcCatalog and clicking Properties. Because it must contain at least one attribute column, ArcCatalog adds a default column to the dBASE table when it is created. For dBASE tables, an integer column named Field1 is added. Add the appropriate attributes to your dBASE table.
