I used field calculator to edit one field and deleted another field. After that, if I try to open this shape file again, it showed me an error: Number of shapes does not match the number of table records. It works fun for small shapefiles. I am trying to create a python tool, but this problem has been bugging me for days. Anyone know why and how to solve this?</SPAN><BR /><BR /><SPAN>Thank you very much!!!</SPAN></BODY></HTML> Tue, 03 Dec 2013 20:45:08 GMT https://community.esri.com/t5/python-questions/error-number-of-shapes-does-not-match-the-number/m-p/588573#M46127 YichiLiu1 2013-12-03T20:45:08Z Re: error: Number of shapes does not match the number of table records https://community.esri.com/t5/python-questions/error-number-of-shapes-does-not-match-the-number/m-p/588574#M46128 <HTML><HEAD></HEAD><BODY><SPAN>Firstly I would dump shapefiles and get the data into a geodb.
