Hello all,
I'm working on trying to use arcpy to automate the creation of a report, but I'm running into a problem.
I'm having trouble deciphering the traceback as it seems to reference a variety of internal python files. In trouble shooting so far, I thought the problem might be that the report_source needs to be a layer file and I was using a .shp so I converted to a .lyr but then I get the error:
Any advice would be greatly appreciated,
Best,
David
