I have the following script. Sometimes it runs and sometimes it does not. I think it might be the search cursor causing problems, but I am not sure. Other people, who do not have GIS background knowledge will be running this scipt so I need it to work all the time, not just some of the time. The script works fine as long as I run my scripts one after another and don't touch anything. If I remove everything from the table of contents and add it again, the error occurs. Does anyone have any suggestions how to fix it or what to do so that it always runs?I really appriciate the help. Sorry the script is a little long:

# Description: This script asks the user to input the geodatabase, Neighbourhood feature class
# and the CalcPop feature class. A GUI appears which asks the user to select a
# neighbourhood. Once the neighbbourhood is selected, the attributes from the CalcPop feature
# class are joined to the selected neighbourhood and a new feature class, containing only the
# the information for that neighbourhood is created.
