I answered nikos's question but then realized that it was only to him, so i'll replicate what i write. Note: i think the list should be configured so the messages go with the "answer to" option asigned to the list and not to the remitter.

First, i'm not really clear my self, so let me complement my question: how are .mdb files used in qgis and a SIG in general. I have a .mdb file and i'm supossed to open it and it should have vector layers. I tried in QGIS with "add a vector layer" -> "file" -> "and select the .mdb file. What happen is an error message: "the .mdb file is not a valid data origin" > Nick > > On Tue, 2012-06-05 at 09:42 -0430, Jesús Francisco wrote: >> Hello, >> >> I'm working with QGIS 1.7.4[*] in Ubuntu 12.04 installed from the >> UbuntuGis repository[1].
