[Gvsig_english] Error when I open a DBF file

[Antonio Falciano]

Hi Chema,
thanks again for your precious advices!
I'm not a professional developer and so my mistakes are often due
to my way of learning by experience... Although, thanks to this 
collaborative
mailing list and your "tricks", I'm learning a bit more about gvSIG.
I hope that my errors will be helpful for somebody else.

Best regards,
Antonio
