The infrastructure is dynamic in that things get replaced or removed, or we discover that we haven't finished mapping and inventorying everything that's out there. I will give the Join function a try as you indicated and see how it works for me.

Yes, we share this data with other agencies from time to time. Managing the data in GIS would be updating the attribute table during an edit session? Never used Python before so I'm not sure about that. I know just enough to be dangerous, but fall well short of being proficient with ArcMap.

I could use some help with managing information in a spreadsheet that is then used to create a shapefile. We have an inventory of storm sewer infrastructure that needs annual inspections and coordinate and attribute updates. I'll do my best to describe what I am trying to do. What I currently do: Throughout the year as this infrastructure is inspected, I update coordinates and mark them as "inspected" or "deleted". This data is in an Excel spreadsheet. Once updated, I add XY data to the ArcMap document, then convert it to a shapefile so that the map reflects the infrastructure that has been inspected and what still needs inspections. What I would like to do: Find a way to have the shapefile linked to a spreadsheet/table/database so that I can change the information there and have the shapefile update automatically. I have the feeling there is a better way to do what I'm doing. Updating and creating a new shapefile every week or so seems cumbersome and I don't want to have a folder full of multiple shapefiles. Any thoughts or suggestions would be greatly appreciated! Eric
