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

[Antonio Falciano]

Hi Wolfgang,
have you tried to export to shp your layer with integer field and then
to do the join? The integer field would so become double with precision one.
I think that this fact depends by the specific driver used to read/write
vectorial data.

Best regards,
Antonio
