Hi Dan,
I checked out the searchcursor... not sure how you use this to open a shapefile up in ArcMap. I have used cursors before in VBA code to go through each record.
I call the python script from a toolbox within an open session of ArcMap. I want it to open a shapefile (chosen by the user with a dialog box). I can get the filepath to the script with the dialog box but I have no idea how to add that shapefile to the arcmap session.. It is easy with arcpy, but I don't have that luxury.
Any ideas?
Thanks,
Josh
