arcgis desktop - Field Calculator does not notice selection?



I have a problem with the Field Calculator in ArcGIS 10.


I selected specific points of a Shapefile I want to calculate, but FC is always calculating all fields. Unfortunately there is no checkbox in ArcGIS 10 anymore to tell FC to only calculate selected fields.


I discovered that it seems to be a problem with the Attribute Table since values can only be changed manually while being in the "Show selected records" mode. Otherwise my edits won't be even recognized (even actual typed in ones).


I tried both activated Editor and not activated Editor for FC. Just a few minutes ago everything worked out fine, now all Shapefiles can't be calculated according to the selection anymore. :/


Anyone an idea what went wrong?


I'm not aware of having changed any settings.


Restart of ArcMap also doesn't do it.



Answer




I found that field calculator does funny things when feature class is outside spatial (!) extent.
