Hi Todd.  I had the same problem and now have both drivers installed. Now ArcMap crashes when I try and open an Excel file despite working fine before I installed the x64 driver. I'm wondering if you have ArcMap installed too and have the same issue?    ... View more

Zach this is amazing! Thank you so much! After I read the Web form URL parameters blog I was able to put together a prototype that we are testing with a mail merge and it is looking promising!  ... View more

Lol, No worries! I found this the other day and thought this should help me in my automation process: Schedule a Python script or model to run at a prescribed time: 2019 update. Windows has a task scheduler built-in, I have it set to run tomorrow morning so we'll see what happens. Our ITS department isn't too keen on us downloading random software so I try to work with what I have first. ... View more

Thanks Zach! My main goal is to have the code run when I'm scheduled off from work. I'm thinking I can have another code that just logs into AGOL. I've looked at the API library before I created this post. It seemed so daunting! I tried to run the gis modules in python 2.7 and then realized that won't work after seeing other posts. As Joe mentioned, I do have python version 3.0 so I can run i can test to see if the gis modules work there. Thanks and good luck in your GIS endeavors! ... View more

Thanks Joe! To be honest with you, my code was made sort of quick and dirty. I used model builder as a base (exported to python) and then modified and added more code in python using the arcpy modules as necessary. I wrote the code a few years ago. I do have a lot code and 4 scripts to run. Most recently I created a script that runs all 4 of my scripts instead of having to run each of them individually.  My main goal is to have the script run when I'm not in the office. Instead of trying to combine the log-in process with my outdated IDLE 2.7 code I could write a second one in a more current platform. I was thinking of setting up a windows scheduler, I would just set-up 2: one to log-in to AGOL and one to run my code that updates the feature service.  I've used ArcMap for so long that I've been too stubborn to switch over to Pro, GIS is a small part of my job function so I need to be proficient in other non-GIS software as well.  In terms of deprecation, from how I comprehend it, the ArcGIS python libraries were downloaded when I downloaded ArcMap. Even if ESRI no longer supports certain libraries, they exist on my C drive so they should run forever as long as I don't delete them and work with an ArcMap version that supports it (for the code that does the ArcMap stuff).  I could be totally wrong here. Ah ha! I don't know why I've never noticed this but I do see the option to EDIT with IDLE(ArcGISPro)! I'll have to try that out! Thanks! ... View more

Hi Joe, Thanks for the link, I was afraid the gis module doesn't work with Python 2.x but it does with Python 3. I have Pro installed, ESRI doesn't recommend downloading python versions that do not come pre-installed with the ArcGIS software. Any idea where I would find version 3 IDLE on my computer and not be Jupyter? Also, from what I read the coding is slightly different for Python 3. I have a lot of code that I don't plan on rewriting . ... View more

Hi Shwu-jing, I just started using Survey123 on Monday (this week, 3/2/2020) and download the most recent version of Connect then (Survey123Connect_x64_3_7_62). I'm the admin for our AGOL account. My Agency has been using the AGOL for years now and I publish directly from ArcMap to AGOL weekly with no issues.  I have a ticket in with ESRI support. Could be a firewall issue. I'm working with my IT department to see if the connection is being blocked on the back end. If that is the issue I will update my question. May be useful for other users if they ever come across this issue. Thanks! -Amber ... View more
