Hello everyone, I've got a question on arcpy. I have a script that is going to select some features out of a few hundred feature classes and export them based off of proximity to my desired location. My issue is I keep getting the 000210 which, to my understanding, means i do not have access to the database I'm trying to write to. I've included my script and error message below. If anyone has any ideas on what might be causing this, i would greatly appreciate the guidance.

Hi all, I'm back at it again. I've written a script to Iterate through an MXD and export all features within 50 miles of my state to a feature class. There are over 550 FCs to process and it keeps failing due to invalid characters. Does arcpy offer a way to parse out invalid characters when naming a conversion output? Below is the code i'm referencing import arcpy import glob import os files = glob.glob(r'C:\Users\JOC-001\Documents\GIS\HSIP\IL_Infrastructure2015\*') for f in files:     os.remove(f) mxd = arcpy.mapping.MapDocument(r'C:\Users\JOC-001\Documents\GIS\HSIP\Infrastructure\HSIP_Gold_2015_Infrastructure.mxd')    layers = arcpy.mapping.ListLayers(mxd)    for lyr in layers:      if lyr.isGroupLayer:         pass     else:         print lyr         arcpy.SelectLayerByLocation_management(lyr, "WITHIN_A_DISTANCE", r"C:\Users\JOC-001\Documents\ArcGIS\Default.gdb\Illinois", "50 Miles", "NEW_SELECTION")          arcpy.FeatureClassToFeatureClass_conversion(lyr, r'C:\Users\JOC-001\Documents\GIS\HSIP\IL_Infrastructure2015', str(lyr.name)) ...
