Hello I am currently trying to automate some processes in arcmap with python and running into an issue with the Merge_Management Function. When I ran the tool through arcmap it merged the four seperate shapefiles together and was able to move to the next step and when I ran the code to test to make sure the merged worked I checked the output folder and it created it like I needed it too. Just when I add the next step to the code it gives me the Error 000732 stating that the merge layer doesn't exist or is not supported. I have ran the process in a new script and set the varible to that path for the shapefile and it works just not in the larger code moving to the next step. I would like the merge to work it would cut down on some lines of code. Any help would be appericated.  Below is the snippet of code the stuff before works without issues: #This will intersect the gaps shapefile with the members shapefile to see if any members fall in the gaps produced print("Intersecting Gap Layer with Members Layer") #This is the Intersection of Large Metro County Gaps with Member Data large_metro_members_intersect = arcpy.Intersect_analysis([large_metro_erase_analysis,member],"large_members_intersect","ALL","","") #This is the Intersection of Metro County Gaps with Member Data metro_members_intersect = arcpy.Intersect_analysis([metro_erase_analysis,member],"metro_members_intersect","ALL","","") #This is the Itersection of Micro County Gaps with Member Data micro_members_intersect = arcpy.Intersect_analysis([micro_erase_analysis,member],"micro_members_intersect","ALL","","") #This is the Intersection of Rural County Gaps with Member Data rural_members_intersect = arcpy.Intersect_analysis([rural_erase_analysis,member],"rural_members_intersect","ALL","","") #This merges all the member data together merged_member_data = arcpy.Merge_management([large_metro_members_intersect,metro_members_intersect,micro_members_intersect,rural_members_intersect],"merged_member_data") #Performing Summary Statistics to gather total number of members for each gap print("Producing Summary Table for Total Members in Gap Locations") summary_table_members=arcpy.Statistics_analysis(merged_member_data, "merged_member_data_Statistic", statistics_fields="Count1 SUM", case_field="NAME") Here is the results page: Make XY event layer Feature Layer to Shapefile CheckedOut Running Process Done with Service Area Generation Starting Erase Analysis Process Intersecting Gap Layer with Members Layer Producing Summary Table for Total Members in Gap Locations Executing: Statistics C:\\Users\\34289980\\Desktop\\local_test\\Buckeye\merged_member_data C:\\Users\\34289980\\Desktop\\local_test\\Buckeye\merged_member_data_Statistic "Count1 SUM" NAME Start Time: Thu Nov 14 09:28:52 2019 Failed to execute.
