</div>Watch out for the escaping for Windows paths. You should have one of these:<br>
<br>
'D:\\testShapefile.shp'<br>
r'D:\testShapefile.shp' (I prefer this method)<br>
'D:/testShapefile.shp' (I think this works)<br>
<br>
As you have it, it will be "D:[tab]estShapefile.shp" with the tab<br>
character. I don't think you are allowed to have a tab character in<br>
Windows path names, but I'm not sure.<br>
<span class="HOEnZb"></span><br></blockquote><div>apologies, that was a typo as I transcribed from python to email. I meant to write 'D:/testShapefile.shp' .....<br><br>(For completeness' sake, it does not work as 'D:\test' - the windows error message is: 'Could not create dbf file D: estShapfile.shp') <br>
