updating your coordinates on the fly

Have you ever needed to correct the coordinate or location of a point in your dataset?
A couple of useful scripts, found on the ESRI page, allows you to do this, on the fly.
No need to add additional fields, or rebuild your shapefile from a recently updated table.

One of these tools allows you to correct the coordinate in your attribute data and then it updates the location of your point based on the new attribute data.

Another tool allows you to move your point to the correct location and then update the attributes based on the new location.

Let me know if you are interested in learning more about these tools.
