gis-l: Lat/Longs in an Attribute Table

[Glombowski, Patina]

I used the ESRI script copied below to add fields to a point layer's
attribute table (for latitude and longitude) and to have the fields populated
with each feature's respective coordinates.  

 

This worked great.  

 

Question/Problem/Issue:

When the layer is edited (the point locations are moved), the attribute table
does not automatically update lat/longs to reflect the change in location.

 

Is there a script that would not only add the respective coordinates for each
point location at the time the script is ran, but would also update the
lat/longs when a feature's location is changed?

 

Thanks for your help.

 

Have a great day,

 

Patina
