Path for table shows as not existing.

Hi,

I ran a few tests to see if a table exists in geodatabase. For some reason the script returns false despite having a proper path and everything. All other features can be accounted for but I don't know why this path is not returning.

import os import arcpy Table = # Insert table path workspace = # Insert workspace path if os.path.exists(Table): print ('{} exist'.format(Table)) else: print ('{} does not exist'.format(Table)) walk = arcpy.da.Walk(workspace, 'Table') for root, directory, filenames in walk: for file in filenames: print (file) path = os.path.join(root, file) print (os.path.exists(path))

There is an actual path to the table but for some reason it doesn't seem to appear. The table also has attachments enabled but I don't know if this impacts whether or not the file exists. Here is the print result that I get.

C:\**\OverflowReportAtt does not exist OverflowReportAtt False OverflowReportAtt__ATTACH False OverflowReportAtt__ATTACHREL False

I would greatly appreciate any help on this. If this is a bug, then I will report as such.

Maybe try using arcpy's Exists function for the tables.

Well that worked. I don't know why the file explorer method didn't work but I guess this is a specific file structure that is unique to ArcGIS which probably explains why it didn't recognize it.

Thanks @Anonymous User.
