ThisVB Script doesn't work in Arc10 and now I have to learn python to replace 2 lines of code and I barely do any coding now. </SPAN><BR /><BR /><SPAN>It gives me the error Object Required 'esri__1' in both ArcCatalog and ArcMap. I read somewhere it has to do with the new VB Script parser. This model step is in the middle of a 50+ process model so any solution needs to work in line.</SPAN><BR /><BR /><SPAN>I've searched and searched for a simple python version with no success.
