Thanks, I was able to establish the ArcSDE Connection File. From my understanding this is a regular server connection and not an OLE DB Connection. I'm not a database expert (although I'm thinking of taking some DB classes), but the reason I was trying to establish an OLE DB connection is because I read it was Read-Only and users wouldn't be able to edit any tables. Is there a way to develop an ArcSDE Connection File that is read only? The database i'm connection to houses a lot of data and I don't want any chance of users being able to edit or delete anything.

I'm in the process of creating a tool in modelbuilder that pulls data from a table through an OLE DB connection and then uses it for further analysis. The model works on my computer but I plan on rolling the tool out to other staff members. I forsee a problem where other staff will go to use the tool but be unable to run it due to not having previously set up the OLE DB connection (they have access to the data server but dont have an OLE DB connection set up). I'm trying to add a step to my model that checks for the OLE DB connection and then makes the connection if doesnt already exist. I cant seem to figure out how to do this. Any advice? Thanks

Molly, Looks like that story map may have been removed. Is it that specific story map you are interested in or are you interested in embedding an accordion story map within a tabbed? I may be able to find you another example.

Thanks, yes, I saw this. I didn't want to naigate to GitHub because I figured I would end up with an email from IT shortly after..

Sorry to piggyback on this topic. Is there a link to where I can access the Crime Analysis Toolbox? I did some googling and only saw the the toolbox on the esriUK page and the github site. I thought I remembered seeing the toolbox somewhere on the official esri US page at one point. Thanks

Ah Thanks! I had this work-around thought out already. I'm conducting some training in the coming weeks and wanted to see if there was a simpler way to show them how to do this. Guess that Join method it is! Thanks!

Hi all and thanks in advanced. I have a set of points that have x/y coordinates attached and I am trying to use "Reverse Geocode" to attach an address to each point using an in-house address locator. From my understanding this tool is supposed to just attach address information to each point and not exactly move the geometry. However, when I run the reverse geocode the output points are moved to the anchor points of the address locator? How do I prevent this from happening? I do not want manhole cover points moved to the parcel centroids (anchor points) I only want the address information added to each feature. Thanks

Hi all and thanks in advanced. I'm in the final stages of developing a scripting tool and i'm having a bit of trouble figuring out how to add images to the tool description sidebar. I'm aware of how to add a single image to overall tool description but is it possible to add images to the help text on individual parameters? Thanks Again! Ben

Hi Natali, You need to open the layer in an ArcGIS online map and open up the attribute table. On the top right you can click options and then add a new field. I cant remember if when I wrote this you were able to use the calculate field tool to copy over the img URL to the new field or if you had to input them by hand. Regardless, the methodolgy found here is what i recommend using:https://community.esri.com/docs/DOC-7445-show-attachments-in-web-map-popup The problem with survey123/Geoform is that you want the img to pop up when you take a new point and not have to open up the map and recalculate the field every time. I used the script found in the above post and set my computer to run it as a task every day. This way images for new points are created automatically once a day.

Yes I am using copy from the module. For some reason importing the module then using xlutils.copy wasnt working. However, Importing as "from xlutils import copy" seemed to solve the issue. Weird because I could have sworn that was one of the first things I tried. Thanks! Ben

Hi all and thanks in advanced. Im working on creating a python tool that will be placed in a tooblox on a network drive within my organization. The tool needs to use the xlutils module but our organization does not have the module installed on our computers. I know that if you place the module in the same folder as the scripting tool .py file you should be able to import. I set up my toolbox and placed the module in the same folder as the toolbox / script. When I run the script from IDE everything runs fine. However, running the tool from within ArcMap yields the error: AttributeError: 'module' object has no attribute 'copy' Anyone have no tips? *Self taught python so sorry if i have the wrong terminology.

Thanks! Invite sent.

Thanks! Solved one problem only to hit another. Now getting "Error encountered: 'objectIdFieldName'"

Were you ever able to solve the "hasattachment" error? I'm currently receiving this error while trying to run the tool. I'm not sure if this would have anything to do with it but i'm trying to use the tool on a feature layer created through Survey123.
