Hi..I have two shape files.One shape file has District Boundary and other has state

boundary.. There is no other common fields to join both these shape files.. Only i can

do is to check how many districts can fall within the state and then i have link it by

adding a field in district shapefile..Is there any other method like to automate the

process using python script. Since there are several districts which i have to match

manually...Thanks in advance ...
