Thanks Randy for clarifying. I really wasn't quite sure if setting the update cursor with multiple fields listed as the cursor would result in all of those field records being updated, much less being able to specify which of the fields in the list need updating. I also didn't know that you could specify field names in a cursor as named variables like the one Joshua posted. I will try his script again, but I will also try it with another part of the script that I am working on.
I wish there was more information like what you and Joshua provided available. I tried researching to find the best approach with the scripts that I am working on, and I wasn't able to find much.
Thanks again Randy and Joshua for the much needed help. I haven't been scripting much and I found the opportunity to when I told my supervisor that it would be easier to automate populating certain fields rather than manually doing so. My scripting knowledge is still very limited so I tend to ask around and see if anyone else can provide a better solution for what I am trying to accomplish.
If you, Joshua, or anyone else has any tips to that would help with improvements I would definitely be open to it.
