ModelBuilder: Iterate Feature Selection can't handle grouping by joined fields?

[Anonymous User]

Original User: ryanstillman

Overview: [indent]I have a points layer and a lines layer. There is a join on the points layer using its segment ID number(CID) with a field in the lines layer which contains the name of the line that is used in our databases. I set up a model using "Iterate Feature Selection" at the start of the model to group the points by the joined name field but I get Error" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">http://help.arcgis.com/EN/arcgisdesktop/10.0/help/index.html#/... 000230 saying how the field could not be found or was not where expected and caused a bad SQL expression. If instead, I choose to group by the segment ID, it works with no problems. What is the deal with using that particular field?[/indent]

More Info
[indent]The points file is called "ObsPointsFromTrails100m"
The lines file is named "RECofficalTrailsClippedMORE_Dissolved"

I have a series of lines along which I have points that are a consistent distance apart along each line segment. The lines have fields like NAME and LENGTH, the points only have OID, SHAPE, and CID, which appears to be a unique identifier for which segment that particular point is on.

I've joined their two attribute tables based on CID and NAME so I can avoid using the alphabetical rank of each group of points(the CID) and use the segment's NAME for other later things.[/indent]


Pictures
[indent]This is what I wanted to work:
[ATTACH=CONFIG]34711[/ATTACH]

In this model section:
[ATTACH=CONFIG]34712[/ATTACH]

But it didn't, so I ended up trying this, which did work:
[ATTACH=CONFIG]34713[/ATTACH][/indent]
