Script for clipping

[ManishAdawadkar]

I am thinking to give the user a drop down menu which contains list of cities and feature classes, then once user selects i would like to match those two and look into the geodatabase and clip it based on two and save it in a new database...is there any head start any one can give me???
Thanks in advance..

Hi,

Short-term solving: use VBA. Much quicker, no use for ArcGIS 10.1 which will not support VBA at all.

Long-term solving: use Desktop Add-Ins with an IDE. Time-consuming, yet quite easy to get started with. Lots of functionality features and support throughout the later versions.
