| Subject: | RE: [mget-help] Fw: a problem in step 2 of the habitat model example 2 |

Hi Judy, I just wanted to update you and the mget-help list on what we’ve been discussing privately. The short answer to your troubles is that we had made a number of improvements to relevant tools in MGET recently but had not updated the example to account for those changes. I just updated the example (here). The update differs a bit from the original due to tool improvements, as explained on the web page. The update is compatible with and has been tested with ArcGIS 9.3, 9.3.1, and 10.0. (The Arc 9.3 compatibility is the only significant change from what I sent you last week.) Let me know if you have any further questions… Best, Jason From: kirk or judy [mailto:] try again... ----- Forwarded Message ----- Hi I have been trying for the past day and a half to get past the problem in step 2 of the habitat modelling example and I have not been able to, so was hoping for a bit of guidance, please and thanks... I have a Dell studio 1555 that runs windows 7. I tried the important notes recommended on the website as I thought that there might have been a link problem with windows 7, but in fact geoeco was in the right place and I had HabModEx2 in the right place (with the full name...). Step 1 of the models works well and takes about 15 minutes on this machine and all of the steps within step 1 have the dropdown shadow. I have had it run successfully about 5 times now :-) This morning (here in NZ) I dumped all of the extracted files and re-extracted (is that a word?) everything making sure all was fresh and new. I ran step1 from arccatalogue; all was sweet as... Ran step 2 and came up against the same problem towards the end of the processing where field 3 is to be calculated with obs_date changed to date of nearest track line but the "field name was not found or there was unbalanced quotation marks". I did check the equation (not this time but earlier trials) and it looked to me like the quotations were balanced. Plus the parts of the model that field 3 refers back to seemed to have run ok. I am not a programmer and at best a reasonable user of computers although I could enviously wish otherwise :-) Any help you might offer in how to circumvent this breakdown would be greatly appreciated. And if you require more info pictures etc I will happily provide them...
