calculating area with arcview 3.2

[Ivan]

Hi -
I'm beginning to use arcview 3.2. I would need to know how to calculate
the polygon area of the points I imported into arcview 3.2 (to
calculate an home range).
Is there anybody that can help me? While waiting for an answer I'll go
back trying to figure out something.
Thanks a lot!

You might find an ArcView user here by accident, but will more
likely get a suggestion in the ESRI forums. Such a basic function
must be well covered in Help, though.

Use the GetArea (or maybe ReturnArea) request to the shape field.

Using the Field Calculate button, try this:

[Shape].GetArea

or

[Shape].ReturnArea

good luck
