Editing a layer in modelbuilder

[SLouq]

I have created 3 models in mobelbuilder to accomplish one task. However I would like to do away with the 3 separate models and just combine all into one model. The problem I am having is I can't get the second part of the model to work unless I add the shapefile I edited in the first part of the model back into the map. The message it is giving me is 'All inputs are not current'. I am trying to use the Select Layer by Attribute tool.

How can I keep all inputs current so the model doesn't quit after the first step?

Thanks,

Scott

In the model builder you can click on the drop down menu for file and export the model as a python script.  I have found a number of processes work faster and better if you make the model into a script. I have had a number of models that would not work at all, but did when I made python out of them.

I am running the model now as I type with my address feature as a feature class and it seems like it is working. I still see the address layer in the map when I didn't when it was a shapefile.

Thank you!
