comment Can a “Join” be detected programmatically?
This looks promising! I don't understand the meat of what it is doing: "if f.name.find(lyr.datasetName) > -1:" but I will try it in a few days and report back (I'm about to get snowed in & lose power!)... Thanks!

comment Can a “Join” be detected programmatically?
ArcObjects and comtypes aren't going to be the solution for this project, they are foreign to me and this project is due yesterday. Thanks for pointing me to that forum thread! I'm going to try the idea presented there: "...check whether any of the fieldname.split(".) would result in 2 parts of which the first would be the Join table!"

comment Can a “Join” be detected programmatically?
@ Dan S. - I am using insert cursors and such in my code. I have no idea how I would go about making my code insensitive to joins.

comment Can a “Join” be detected programmatically?
@ Nathanus - The manual Remove Join in ArcMap does not break my layer properties, the GP tool does. Here is a relevant quote from ESRI Help: "As these tools perform the actual behind-the-scenes join processing slightly differently than the Join Data dialog box, use the tools if you encounter any unexpected issues with the join functionality on that dialog box."

comment How to automatically set polygons borders to improve map readability when rendering thematic maps?
I've done a similar version of this effect by buffering the interiors of polygons, coloring the buffer the same as the poly but changing the saturation of the buffer color... I did like that solution better that the blurry images shown on the blog post!

comment Multi-Colored Polygon in Thematic Map
Re the second question: Do the edges of the polygons all touch each other to form a continuous surface, or are they distinctly separate polygons like lakes.

comment Multi-Colored Polygon in Thematic Map
Is there a maximum number of possible colors per polygon? Do the polygons form a continuous fabric?
