Did you really mean ArcView 3.1??

If you are, it doesn't support python.

Perhaps you might wish to clarify exactly what software you are using

Michael – thanks for the reply – but still missing something

Working in Arc 3.1

Have 5 columns:

1          FLAG – has 1 of 3 values – depending on which one tells you which of Attributes 2, 3 or 4 to use

2          if FLAG = O

3          if FLAG = G

4          if FLAG = B

5          COUNT_FINAL – this is the location where a value from Attribute 2, 3 or 4 will reside dependent on what the Flag value was
