Re: [Qgis-user] Re: Join Attributes - no Shapefile createt (QGIS 1.4)
Excellent! I've changed how Join Attributes works a bit (in trunk), so hopefully problems like this will be less frequent in the future. If you have a chance, I'd appreciate a few tests to make sure that what was working before is *still* working :-) Cheers, Carson On Wed, Mar 10, 2010 at 9:04 PM, Claas Leiner claas.lei...@eschenlaub.de wrote: Thanks for answers, when I openend the termine.dbf with OpenOffice.org, delete the dbf-infos in the column-heads, save the file as *.odt and then save the file as *.dbf (utf8), I can join the termine.dbf.

Carson Hi Claas and the others, this shapefile was created by me (nice surprise to find it as an issue here ;) ) I digitized it from a WMS-Layer with QGIS 1.4 OSGEO4W-Installation on XP in UTF-8 with the first 3 table columns. The other data columns were added in OpenOffice Calc and several corrections of the dbf were made in Calc as well. Can this be the reason? Did do this more often and haven't had problems before. Is there sth particular stored within the shape file itself about the database structure that is now leading to the malfunction? (No idea about the inner anatomy of shapes) If this is not the case, could it be then some kind of data corruption caused by compressing for sending by email?
