Hello and thanks for your reply. I saw that and have been working with it for a couple of hours now. Still cant seem to access the layers in the map specifically.  import arcpy #Set env workspace mxd = arcpy.mapping.MapDocument(r"C:\Users\billid\Desktop\WaterUtilityNetwork\WaterSystem.mxd") #Get layers for lyr in arcpy.mapping.ListLayers(mxd): #Get fields fields = arcpy.ListFields(lyr) for field in fields:    print(field) I just get this error. Traceback (most recent call last): File "D:\PythonWorkingFolder\GIS_Python\ListLayers.py", line 8, in <module> fields = arcpy.ListFields(lyr) File "C:\Program Files (x86)\ArcGIS\Desktop10.4\ArcPy\arcpy\__init__.py", line 1138, in ListFields return gp.listFields(dataset, wild_card, field_type) File "C:\Program Files (x86)\ArcGIS\Desktop10.4\ArcPy\arcpy\geoprocessing\_base.py", line 346, in listFields self._gp.ListFields(*gp_fixargs(args, True))) IOError: "Water System" does not exist   ListFields is supposed to take a string. ListLayers returns <class 'arcpy._mapping.Layer'> not a string Note that "Water System" is a layer group, but even when I un-group all the layers it just tells me the first layer doesn't exist. I'm guessing it is because it's not a string. I don't want to work on the data source as it is already set "editable  = true" the map layer properties have it set to false and I would like to change the map and then I can overwrite the .lyr file. Yes I can do it manually but I have many maps and need to check all the fields. Thanks again for your feed back.    EDIT: I suppose if i could turn the layer names into text I could make a list out of them.... ... View more

Hallo Mike! Danke für deine schnelle Antwort. Nein, ich muss leider wissen, welcher Verein wo ist. Das mit der Summe pro Ort merke ich mir aber als Alternativlösung, sollte ich das andere gar nicht mehr zustande bringen. Viele Grüße, Agnes ... View more

My friends, here are some ideas on how to take advantage of Python's very handy string abilities... def report(clr, lbl, val):   return "<bol><clr {} = '255'>{}: {}</clr></bol>\n".format(     clr, lbl, val) def FindLabel([NAME], [Acetone], [Benzene], [1_3_Butadi]):   message = ""   if int([Benzene]) > 79:     message += report("red", "Benzene", [Benzene])   elif int([Benzene]) > 0:     message += report("green", "Benzene", [Benzene])   if [Acetone] > 0:         message += report("green", "Acetone", [Acetone])   if int([1_3_Butadi]) > 0:         message += report("green", "1,3-Butadiene", [1_3_Butadi])   return message (If you start a table, dataset, or field name with a number, you may regret it. You have been warned.) ... View more

Chris, You are so right. I contacted the City and they told me to do a query with Building Value and Land Value < 500... That is what I did and it worked... Tks a lot... I still learned to use the LIKE trough posting this... Thank you again ... View more

Thank you, Kathi. I've combined data sets with different scales before and had no problems. However, I wasn't considering the fact that the combined set might be used in advanced analyses. So, I needed some confirmation that the data would be okay should it be used for more than just display and identification of attributes. I think you have put my worries to rest. With much appreciation, Ana Sent from my iPhone ... View more
