Hi: Both operations tag the point with the area that the point is in. The main difference is that the Fill tool uses an existing field to output the results, while the Tag Points by Area tool creates a new field with the results. A point-to-point example of tagging is shown here: http://www.caliper.com/Video/Maptitude/Video-TaggingData.htm <http://www.caliper.com/Video/Maptitude/Video-TaggingData.htm>
