Hello everyone, Thank you everyone for stepping up. I've received a lot of good advice. Sean and Andrew -- I got this error: 010067: Error in executing grid expression. Description: There was a problem executing the map algebra expression. Peggy -- I had already done a symbology map, and it looked good, but we thought a heat map would be better. Zach -- Yes, the data was exported to an equidistant projection. Ryan -- Thank you for introducing me to this program. I'm definitely interested in looking further into Crimestat. Jarlath -- I will look further into Open Heat Map also. I looked at the video, and I think I may be able to do some neat things with it. Ted -- The Empirical Bayesian kriging funtion seemed to work rather well. I got an interesting raster out of it. Josh -- The Inverse Distance Weight seemed to give me the results most closely to what I was looking for. I only wish that I could get it to extend beyond the extents of the input point layer; the outer corners of the county are clipped off. Otherwise it looks great. I'm going to look into some of the other tools that have been suggested as well. I should get some really neat maps out of them. Thanks again everyone for all your help.
