What issue are you having? Did you read the link at the top of the page you linked? http://resources.arcgis.com/en/help/main/10.1/index.html#/Using_text_formatting_tags/00s80000000p000000/ Edit: To bold you use "<BOL>" + [field] + "</BOL>" Alignment I do not think is exposed through tags/code, you need to go into the symbol property and select left horizontal alignment. ...

You have already created the fcList so you cannot call it since it is a list not a function. If you want to limit by a wildcard you would need to do that on this line. fcLst = arcpy.ListFeatureClasses("SectMon_PLSS_*") What is the name of the feature class you want to append? You can modify the wildcard to be a particular suffix if they change or a static string if they are exactly the same. ... View more

It's hard to make suggestions without seeing your data or an explanation on what you are trying to accomplish. One thing is your nested cursors are a very bad idea. Especially throwing in geoprocessing inside the cursors. Very bad. Also, I'm not sure why you assign variables to your geoprocessing tools but never use them. What are you trying to accomplish with that? One last thing, your code is borderline illegible to me. Try reading this for formatting conventions in Python. http://www.python.org/dev/peps/pep-0008/ ... View more

I agree with Greg. I really don't like how the Idw tool is accessed. This should be the proper method. arcpy.sa.Idw() It would be helpful if you supplied any error messages you received. ... View more

I have a hard time believing two search cursors would take longer than copying out both datasets and joining them locally. In any case, have you tried the Feature Compare tool? ... View more

Thanks, I just tried that, and keep getting there was a failure durring proessing, check Geoprocessinf Results widow for details. No detail window is to be found either. Did you use the Python parser? ... View more

You could just do this in field calculator unless you want to make it a script. Your example has more than 8 characters so modify the number you want if it isn't 8. RFID_Code = !RFID_Tag![-8:] ... View more

Thank you for the response and help. i have added the arcpy.qualifiedfieldNames = False and i am still getting the same results for the NewFeatures table, it's not truncated the fields. import arcpy,os, sys import arcpy.mapping # Set workspace arcpy.env.workspace = "C:/Temp" arcpy.env.overwriteOutput = 'True' arcpy.env.qualifiedfieldNames = False directory="C:/Temp/Split.pdf" if os.path.exists(directory):     try:         os.remove(directory)     except:         print "Exception: ",str(sys.exc_info()) else:     print 'File not found at ',directory #arcpy.RefreshActiveView() mxd = arcpy.mapping.MapDocument("current") df = arcpy.mapping.ListDataFrames(mxd, "Layers")[0] lyr = arcpy.mapping.ListLayers(mxd, "TaxParcels")[0] df.extent = lyr.getSelectedExtent() df.scale = 5000 if int(arcpy.GetCount_management("TaxParcels").getOutput(0)) > 0:        #arcpy.CopyFeatures_management("TaxParcels", "C:/temp/NewFeatures.shp")     arcpy.Select_analysis("TaxParcels", "C:/temp/NewFeatures.shp") #Adding Labels layer = arcpy.mapping.ListLayers(mxd, "NewFeatures")[0] if layer.supports("LABELCLASSES"):     for lblclass in layer.labelClasses:         lblclass.className = "vector_D_1" #This should be Account         lblclass.expression = "[vector_D_1] & VBNewLine & Round([vector_D_5],2)" #these should be "ACCOUNT" & "ACRES"     lblclass.showClassLabels = True layer.showLabels = True arcpy.RefreshActiveView() arcpy.mapping.ExportToPDF(mxd,"C:/Temp/Split.pdf", "") It is arcpy.env.qualifiedFieldNames not arcpy.env.qualifiedfieldNames.

Has ESRI announced a stop for supporting the .mdb-format with 64-bit? I imagine it was just an over sight since they don't encourage people to use personal geodatabases and 64-bit geoprocessing is pretty new. You can try this release from microsoft that helps with compatibility between 32-bit and 64-bit but I can't speak to whether this will have any effect on your problem. http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=13255 Edit: And it doesn't seem like Esri has any plans on supporting personal geodatabases in the future. http://resources.arcgis.com/en/help/main/10.1/index.html#//00vp0000002t001324 ...
