We have also developed the next version of the Map Production tools which work using Python and those are available to use right now. At this point however I would recommend staying with the VBA tools. The new python tools are a bit slower and not as intuitive to install/configure. If anyone else has anything to say about this please chime in. <o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='color:#1F497D'><o:p> </o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='color:#1F497D'>At 10.1 (which will supposedly be released in January) ESRI will no longer support any VBA tools so we won’t have a choice. Also at 10.1 ESRI makes it REALLY easy to install/Configure the python tools. So… again, my recommendation is to stay with the VBA tools until you plan to migrate to 10.1. <o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='color:#1F497D'><o:p> </o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='color:#1F497D'>I do know that Deschutes, Lane, Polk, and Clackamas counties are using (or at least testing) the new python tools in 10.0 with success. But as I mentioned installation and configuration was not very easy.<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='color:#1F497D'><o:p> </o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='color:#1F497D'>We have 10.1 beta installed at Deschutes County and I have already migrated the tools to work with it… so the Map Production tools be ready to go whenever it is released.
