error calculating a field using field calculator

ChristiNelson1

Hi there,

I have an attribute table and have added a new field (AQU_PIPE_NAME). To populate its selected fields, I would like to set it equal to the selected values in another field of the same table (EXTENSION). I have made only the selected fields visible. I ten right click on AQU_PIPE_NAME and click on Field Calculator. I set the following operation: AQU_PIPE_NAME = [EXTENSION] and receive the following error message:

"There was a failure during processing, check the Geoprocessing Results window...
Calculate Field [133038_10132011]
ERROR 000732 Input table does not exist or is not supported

Its a simple file .gdb attribute table. Not sure why it wouldn't be supported. No subtypes exist on this table and I made sure.

Helllp!
Christi

This maybe a dumb response. Does the new field support the data type you're trying to add to it? For example, you're not trying to add data from a text field to a short integer field are you?

I have found that ArcMap 10.0 is very sensitive as to how you name a layer in your Table of Contents.

So far I have found two instances of where I get an error when using the field calculator:

1. If your layer name in the Table of Contents has extra spaces at the end. (Fix: remove any extra spaces)

2. If your layer name in the Table of Contents has has a slash "/". (Fix: remove "/")

If you suspect that you might be running into this issue, try renaming the layer.

I don't know if Service Pack 3 will address this issue as I have not yet installed it.

2. If your layer name in the Table of Contents has has a slash "/". (Fix: remove "/")

Thank you! This solved my problem! I also had a slash in one of my coded value domains and got the same error. I removed it and it was working again.
