thanks. It seems my script doesn't work with Infield1 etc instead of the actual name of the field.

I believe that in the first instance which uses a "where" statement to return specific rows, you need to have quotations marks "" around the field name in the case of shapefiles and brackets [] for geodatabase feature classes.

ahh! I had it working after removing the brackets and changing the field names to the actual field name. But now it doesn't seem to work. I also tried it with the cur method and nothing happens even though it says completed what have I done wrong..I tried with [] instead as well rows = arcpy.UpdateCursor(infc) for row in rows: if row.getValue("Texture") == "Sandy": row.setValue("Richness", "poor") else: row.setValue("Richness", "none") rows.updateRow(row) del rows

Could you edit your original question with the new pieces of code you've been trying and having trouble with? It's difficult to piece together what you've done and where things might be going wrong.
