da.UpdateCursor - Runtime Error: Object invalid or no longer set

Anybody have any insight on why this is failing? (Line 62 below).

I am trying to update a text field using a DA Update Cursor. Please help!

Mike,

Any chance that the length of sLink that you are putting back in row[1] exceeds the maximum length of the column?

Regards,

Tom

Good thought. I just ran it over a few records. The file path is coming back in the 120 - 130 length range. Field is defined up to 200.

I solved the problem.

The outer da.UpdateCursor is open on a feature class in the same workspace as the featureclass where the da.SearchCursor is open in the 'GetOperArea_SpatialIntersect' function. So, it seems you cannot open an Update Cursor and then open a SearchCursor on the same workspace and expect to update the original cursor.

I am sure I could rewrite the code to start and end edit operations on the Update cursor. I only structured the data in the same workspace for testing purposes - in production this will not be an issue in my case.
