Anyone got an idea on this one.&nbsp; I'm assuming it shouldn't be to complex as the tool works perfectly fine when I navigate to the file myself.</SPAN></BODY></HTML> Thu, 10 Jun 2010 20:20:35 GMT https://community.esri.com/t5/geoprocessing-questions/python-script-data-entry/m-p/337383#M11848 KyleDalton 2010-06-10T20:20:35Z Re: Python Script Data Entry https://community.esri.com/t5/geoprocessing-questions/python-script-data-entry/m-p/337384#M11849 <HTML><HEAD></HEAD><BODY><SPAN>try setting the parameter as feature layer instead of feature class.</SPAN></BODY></HTML> Fri, 11 Jun 2010 22:37:55 GMT https://community.esri.com/t5/geoprocessing-questions/python-script-data-entry/m-p/337384#M11849 JeffLee 2010-06-11T22:37:55Z
