have an application (extension) that works fine on Windows XP platform. When I run this application on Windows 7 it throws this error. I am not sure what is causing this. I was thinking that it could be due to the fact that .net framework is not installed but I can see all in there. Looking for any ideas to resolve this issue. Note: this error comes up when I click on a combox box. How can i get past this message box and get to actual error. Thanks Jay See the end of this message for details on invoking just-in-time (JIT) debugging instead of this dialog box. ***** Exception Text ******* System.NullReferenceException: Object reference not set to an instance of an object. at MapExt_Net.HEI_Extensions.layout.frmLayout.DisplaySize() at MapExt_Net.HEI_Extensions.layout.frmLayout.cBLayoutExtent_SelectedIndexChanged(Object sender, EventArgs e) at System.Windows.Forms.ComboBox.OnSelectedIndexChanged(EventArgs e) at System.Windows.Forms.ComboBox.WmReflectCommand(Message& m) at System.Windows.Forms.ComboBox.WndProc(Message& m) at System.Windows.Forms.Control.ControlNativeWindow.OnMessage(Message& m) at System.Windows.Forms.Control.ControlNativeWindow.WndProc(Message& m) at System.Windows.Forms.NativeWindow.Callback(IntPtr hWnd, Int32 msg, IntPtr wparam, IntPtr lparam) [ATTACH=CONFIG]16040[/ATTACH] ...

Hi Jeffery, Thanks for your reply. This is the script that I am using. I am having mixed success. Script fails sometimes, giving some Utility.py error. I would appreciate any suggestions.

Hi Jeffrey , I am having a similar issue and and I am able to set the path to UNC path. The issue that I am getting is with Layer files with nested data sources. Would you have any input on how to make this happen. Thanks Jay  I need to change thousands of LYR files to use relative paths instead of absolute.  Following the example in help I got this: import arcpy, os folderPath = r"C:\Testing\ArcGIS10_release\paths" for filename in os.listdir(folderPath):     fullpath = os.path.join(folderPath, filename)     if os.path.isfile(fullpath):         basename, extension = os.path.splitext(fullpath)         if extension.lower() == ".lyr":             lyr = arcpy.mapping.Layer(fullpath)             lyr.findAndReplaceWorkspacePath (r"C:\Testing\ArcGIS10_release\paths", r"\\ Testing\ArcGIS10_release\paths ")             lyr.save() del lyr The paths are coming out as broken when I move them to the same path but a different directory (D:\Testing\ArcGIS10_release\paths).  I think I need to append the file name on the end of the path for this to work - but am not sure how. Any help? ... View more

Hi Wilbur, Thanks for your feedback, I got completely sidetracked on some other tasks. Finally got a chance to work on this issue. I tried the steps you suggested but the problem still persists.

Hi katy, My quetion is slightly different now. It turns out that I was trying to add is an ArcIMS service not an WMS service. Please let me know if the approach above would still work? Thanks Jay ... View more

Hi Katy, I was trying to download the sample from the link but it says "Service Unavailable". I have tried this twice now so wanted to check if there is any issue. On your suggestion for ArcGISonline option, I did try that but didn't get far with this. While creating the map, it does accepth the URL but it doesnt ask me to specify login/pwd and eventully it doesnt show in the map. This is a secured service.  Thanks Jay ... View more

Hi Katy, Just wanted to let you know that I am using Builder to add this wms layer, not doing any coding for this. I will into and see what I can get from SL API forum. I still think this is a relevent issue (Builder) that will need resolution. Thanks Jay ... View more
