I am trying to break down this large file into the different road types (field - RTTYP) identified in this file and export each type as a new file. Then use the multi ring buffer tool to buffer each roadtype. I have successfully done this for each road type except for M (common name roads) I can extract only these roads and export as new shapefile. However, when I go to try to use the multi-ring buffer tool it fails with this error message.</P><P></P><P>Messages<BR />Executing: MultipleRingBuffer Export_Output_2 C:\Users\lhunt\Documents\ArcGIS\Default.gdb\Export_Output_2_MultipleRing 15;60;120;240 Meters distance ALL FULL<BR />Start Time: Wed Jan 25 10:39:46 2017<BR />Running script MultipleRingBuffer...<BR />ERROR 999999: Error executing function.<BR />The table was not found.<BR />The table was not found.
