Greetings,

I would like to incorperate some dynamic text into a defintion query. I am working with data driven pages based off of a cities layer. I would only like to display the boundary of the main city for each page. Inserting dynamic text into the layout is easy enough, but can I also insert the same dynamic text into a definition query? How do I need to change the syntax?

For example, dynamic text used for map text:

<dyn type="page" property="name"/>

Can this be translated into SQL for the definition query?

Thanks!

EDIT: Solved with this page:

enter the definition query dialog for the features Layer Properties

Click on Query Builder.

Build your definition query here just as you would a search query.  Essentially the definition query is the same as search.
