yeah. This is a problem. ms won't allow you to make a non-poly on a poly layer. And I 
don't know if there anyway around it. You could test the polys using an Arcview 
Avenue script that I posted on this message board a while back (I am not sure if I still 
have it... will search for it... but you should be able to find it in the email archives).

Would be nice if ms has a switch that allows it to generate non-fatal errors and 
continue without choking up.
