[Gvsig_english] Question regarding join/link function of gvSIG 1.0.2 (nearly solved)

[Wolfgang Qual]

Hi list,
I found out the reason for this problem: the two key-columns were of different 
field types (integer and double). GvSIG seems to recognize this - therefore, 
there is no possibility to perform the join. Well, this is a case for a new 
functionality, the field calculator...
The problem is that the numeric field of the join-table (which was created in 
openoffice) is interpreted by gvSIG as field type double, not integer (and I 
do not know how to define this in openoffice).

Best regards,
Wolfgang
