I found this forum posting: http://forums.arcgis.com/threads/55556-findAndReplaceWorkspacePaths-is-crashing-Python-script?highlight=findAndReplaceWorkspacePaths I had to remove the Esri and Bing map background services from my ArcMap table-of-contents to make my findAndReplaceWorkspacePaths python script work.  And, as the above mentioned forum post notes, my SDE paths were not changed in the output saveACopy MXD.  So, the script did not crash with online map background services removed, but it also did not make any path changes. Almost every map document that we create has an Esri/Bing map background service.  If Mapdocument.findAndReplaceWorkspacePaths does not work on an MXD containing online services, what are my options? ...

I, too, am having no success running this code in ArcMap 10.0, SP4.  I am using code examples found in ArcGIS Online Help and running it against a very simple map and data sets.  Python crashes every time.  I have placed "print" statements in my code to see how far it goes and it gets to the findAndReplaceWorkspacePaths process and crashes.  I've run out of ideas. import arcpy, os # Local variables oldSDE = r"M:\Clients\M-O\ABC\_ArcGIS\2012\06\TestingRepath\SQL01\\" newSDE = r"M:\Clients\M-O\ABC\_ArcGIS\2012\06\TestingRepath\SQL02\\" mapDoc = r"M:\Clients\M-O\ABC\_ArcGIS\2012\06\TestingRepath\_Map01.mxd" print "Define MapDocument Parameter" mxd = arcpy.mapping.MapDocument(mapDoc) print "Start FindAndReplace Process" mxd.findAndReplaceWorkspacePaths(oldSDE, newSDE) print "Start saveAcopy Process" mxd.saveACopy(r"M:\Clients\M-O\ABC\_ArcGIS\2012\06\TestingRepath\_Map01_NEW.mxd") print "Done" del arcpy, oldSDE, newSDE, mapDoc, mxd ...

Shweta: I'm not sure what may be causing your issue, but I have some advice. I have stopped using MS-Excel documents as a source to a live map service.  ArcGIS Server will lock your Excel document and you won't be able to modify and save anything in your table as long as the map service it is connected to is running.  Instead, I use a table in a file geodatabase or a table in MS-Access.  Using a table in a file geodatabase or a table in MS-Access allows you to add/subtract records or modify cell values while the map service is live.
