Hi All,
I have an MXD which contains a large number of layers that originally all linked to featureclasses within a single file geodatabase. I have since needed to move some of the data into another file geodatabase. My thinking was that after I moved the data I could use arcpy to iterate the layers, pick up any with broken sources and change their data source to target the new geodatabase. I have the code below which I adapted from HERE to suit my needs but it throws the error below below in red. I'm sure it is something simple but can anyone tell me what I am doing wrong here? The name printed by line 7 (i.e. State Electorates) is that or a featureclass so i don't see why it wouldn't work?
Many thanks in advance.
Gino
