There is a lot less code needed when using Python as opposed to to ArcObjects and VBA will eventually disappear (although they have been saying this for years now...). Using Python will be more future-proof and functionality will probably be compatible with ArcGIS Pro.</P><P></P><P>If so you may want to consider moving your question to the <A href="https://community.esri.com/space/2145">Python</A> space and provide some useful tags (<A href="https://community.esri.com/docs/DOC-1103">Tagging Content</A> ) in order to get more responses. </P></BODY></HTML> Tue, 14 Apr 2015 22:43:37 GMT https://community.esri.com/t5/python-questions/new-with-coding-for-arcmap/m-p/202347#M15590 XanderBakker 2015-04-14T22:43:37Z Re: New with coding for ArcMap https://community.esri.com/t5/python-questions/new-with-coding-for-arcmap/m-p/202348#M15591 <HTML><HEAD></HEAD><BODY><P>Good suggestions.
