Hi Kyle. Not sure if you have split up your NRN shapefile yet, but I have a small perl script that I used here. It uses Tom Russo's "split_shape_by_bbox" program (available from Tom's website) and the resulting files are named as the national topographic series (92G, etc). If you are interested, I could send it to you.
Here is a list of the DBF fields that I kept: NATRDCLASS, RTNUMBER1, RTENAME1EN, RTENAME2EN, NBRLANES, PAVSTATUS, STRUCTTYPE, STRUNAMEEN Hope this helps, Mike Fenske VE7MKF At 01:30 PM 06/10/06 -0700, Kyle Kienapfel wrote: >Content-Disposition: inline > >I checked and the Geobase.ca NRN uses the ROADSEGID to associate which >shape with what dbf entry.
