I am importing mapped rainfall data in the form of arcview shapefiles for the lower 48.

1. I want to reproject but what ever I do nothing changes, except in some cases all information disappears.

2. I would like to color fill based on ranges of total rainfall (i.e. a color for the range from 20.1" to 40" another color for 40.1" to 60" etc.). These are the intervals spanned by the shapefiles.

Can anyone suggest where I should start.

    How are you reprojecting the data? After you load the data, you can reproject it by changing the projection on the Projection tab of the Configuration dialog. You should see coordinates in the status bar in the new projection and also any exports would now be in that projection.

    For coloring based on some attribute value, I would suggest using the Search->Search by Attributes menu command to find data with particular values and then edit them to have the style that you want.

    Let me know if I can be of further assistance.

    Thanks,
