I am working with data driven pages based off of a cities layer. I would only like to display the boundary of the main city for each page. Inserting dynamic text into the layout is easy enough, but can I also insert the same dynamic text into a definition query? How do I need to change the syntax?</SPAN><BR /><BR /><SPAN>For example, dynamic text used for map text:</SPAN><BR /><BR /><SPAN>&lt;dyn type="page" property="name"/&gt;</SPAN><BR /><BR /><SPAN>Can this be translated into SQL for the definition query?</SPAN><BR /><BR /><SPAN>Thanks!</SPAN><BR /><BR /><SPAN>EDIT: Solved with this page:</SPAN><BR /><A href="http://help.arcgis.com/en/arcgisdesktop/10.0/help/index.html#//00sr00000004000000">http://help.arcgis.com/en/arcgisdesktop/10.0/help/index.html#//00sr00000004000000</A></BODY></HTML> Fri, 22 Nov 2013 17:25:53 GMT Emilbrundage 2013-11-22T17:25:53Z Dynamic text in definition query. https://community.esri.com/t5/mapping-questions/dynamic-text-in-definition-query/m-p/170214#M1865 <HTML><HEAD></HEAD><BODY><SPAN>Greetings,</SPAN><BR /><BR /><SPAN>I would like to incorperate some dynamic text into a defintion query.
