Sorry, yet another frustrating error I'm encountering. I'm reading data from an Excel sheet, first column is xCel_Assignment_Number. Then will be matching the value from xCel_Assignment_Number to FC Assignments, field Assignment_Number. Then updating the information in the FC with data from the spreadsheet.I'm again having trouble with the query and receive the error cannot concatenate 'str' and 'Cursor' objects. Assignment_Number is type short Integer. Here's the code I'm using. rows = arcpy.SearchCursor(xCel) row = rows.next() arcpy.AddMessage("Got Rows" + str(rows) +" from excel") while row: arcpy.AddMessage("Start While Loop processing excel sheet") # Excel Sheet Values eAssignment = row.getValue("xCel_Assignment_Number") eDescription = row.getValue("xCel_Description") eTeam = row.getValue("xCel_Team_Name") fc1="Assignments" vAssignment = '"Assignment_Number"' + "='" + str(int(eAssignment)) + "'" arcpy.AddMessage(eAssignment) iAssignment = arcpy.SearchCursor(fc1,eAssignment) arcpy.AddMessage("iAssignment - " + iAssignment)Thanks in advance for your help
