Yes: 0) select the layer you want to edit attr from 1) put you layer in 'editable' mode 2) go to menu: /Settings/Options/Map Tools (on Linux, on windows not sure. You have to have the general options dialog) 3) check the second checkbox: "Open feature from, if a single feature is identified" 4) select the identify tool (i-tool) 5) now click on the feature you want to edit: a form will show in which you can change the values of the attr, of THAT feature HTH Regards, Richard Duivenvoorde ps (as an extra) in the properties dialog of the layer itself, you can in the item 'Fields' even create your own form _______________________________________________ Qgis-user mailing list Qgis-user@lists.osgeo.org http://lists.osgeo.org/mailman/listinfo/qgis-user
