updating text with attribute data

[GinaMartin2]

Hello,

I need to grab the data from a field in my attribute data and place this within a text box (it is the entire field of data). I get an error message when trying to use the attached script. It would be most useful if only certain sections in the textbox are updated.

Thanks,
Gina

What error message are you getting?

Try:

rows = arcpy.SearchCursor (mapLyr.dataSource)

Thanks Jeff, but that suggestion did not work.

I get the following error message "Runtime error <type 'exceptions.RuntimeError'>: ERROR 999999: Error executing function."

Thanks,
Gina
