I have access to ArcMap 10.0 (ArcInfo/Workstation) on Windows 7 SP1.
My usual scenario is to produce a map book having 3 shapes:
But how to get the county names fieldbased on each single page without some manual action?
I know that ArcMap only uses the SMIF-Layer with fixed attribute data as a valid source for DDP, so no Joins/Relates to the attribute table are allowed. And adding new fields manually to SMIF table and filling them actually works, I did that last time, but, you know, it stinks somehow.
So, how to get the attributes from boundaries.shp into SMIF.shp to provide dynamic data for each page in DDP?

My usual scenario is to produce a map book having 3 shapes:
- 1 polyline (a road track about 200-300 km without any useful attribute data)
- 1 polygon (boundaries with all the county data like county names, numbers etc. in the attribute table)
- 1 polygon (road track based Strip Map Index Feature (SMIF) to get the DDP running with attributes generated by ArcMap)
But how to get the county names fieldbased on each single page without some manual action?
