shrug-l: RE: Lat/Longs in an Attribute Table

[Glombowski, Patina]

Linc,

Thank you.  I know that I can delete the previous output data and rerun the
tool.  However, the complaint comes from a staff member that I recently
assisted that insists that there should be a way for lat/longs to
automatically update without any additional effort or input on our part.  So,
I assured him that I would check into it-thus, my reason for posting to GIS-L
and SHRUG-L.  By the way, I'm still using 9.1, haven't had an opportunity to
update myself or staff here to 9.2.  

Thanks again for your response.  

Have a great day,

Patina

Subject: Coordinate Script

Patina,
The easiest way to accomplish your task is to delete the lat/long fields
created by the script from your table and run the script again.
This will update the locations.

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
