[Gvsig_english] large dbf with incorrect double values fixed

[Steven Drake]

Juan,

Thank You for suggesting OpenOffice Base for file editing. The empty values
were calculated to zero and the shapefile exported just fine.

Hello, Steven.

So you cannot use gvSIG's field calculator?

Perhaps you can use Ms Access or OpenOffice Base to edit that DBF file. If
you place your file filename.dbf in the folder c:\fordername, you can
connect to that database from OpenOffice Base by indicating that the
database is located at c:\fordername, and a table called filename will be
automatically added. Then you can edit or remove the 26th field.

When you open a shapefile, the correspondence between the shapes and the
attributes is based on the order, so you have to make sure that you don't
reorder the rows when you edit it that table.

If you make that dbf file available, perhaps we can help you more.

Regards,
