These stupid parentheses keep making me so mad.... Are there rules as how to place parentheses? I can't get this code to work, there is a syntax error on this part.

I think you mean the quotation marks?

Your line should look like this

arcpy.CreateAddressLocator_geocoding("US Address - Street Name", "AllRoadsParish" + fip +"'Primary Table'", "'Feature ID' OBJECTID VISIBLE NONE;'Prefix Direction' PREFIX VISIBLE NONE;'Prefix Type' <None> VISIBLE NONE;'*Street Name' NAME VISIBLE NONE;'Suffix Type' Street_Cat VISIBLE NONE;'Suffix Direction' SUFFIX VISIBLE NONE;'Left City or Place' <None> VISIBLE NONE;'Right City or Place' <None> VISIBLE NONE;'Left ZIP Code' ZIPL VISIBLE NONE;'Right ZIP Code' ZIPR VISIBLE NONE;'Left State' STATE VISIBLE NONE;'Right State' STATE VISIBLE NONE;'Left Additional Field' Parish_FIP VISIBLE NONE;'Right Additional Field' Parish_FIP VISIBLE NONE", Output_Address_Locator, "")

and yes I did mean quotes lol thanks

Re: Parentheses Rules

NathanBaylot1 — Mon, 06 Feb 2012 14:00:39 GMT

Those quotes are even messing with my mind!

I get this error now.
Runtime error <class 'arcgisscripting.ExecuteError'>: ERROR 000039: Not enough reference data tables for this style.
I edited like you said and the .shp and .dbf were created correctly, just the create address locator didn't work.

Re: Parentheses Rules

MathewCoyle — Mon, 06 Feb 2012 17:44:01 GMT

I would guess you need more than just the primary table referenced for your locator.

Check out the error
http://help.arcgis.com/en/arcgisdesktop/10.0/help/index.html#/000039_Not_enough_reference_data_tables_for_this_style/00vp00000009000039/

And the tool syntax for adding other tables

well what I did was hardcode the
"AllRoadsParish001 'Primary Table'"

into the address locator script and it worked. But, if I put the

"AllRoadsParish" + fip + "'Primary Table'"

in there it will not

Re: Parentheses Rules

MathewCoyle — Mon, 06 Feb 2012 17:53:03 GMT

Ah that is because you don't have a space in your script, like this.

"AllRoadsParish" + fip +" 'Primary Table'"

See told you those quotes are nasty.... Yeah it worked thanks!
