[OSGeo-Discuss] Shapefile's dfb editing

Silvia,

I am surprised that Open Office couldn't open the DBF. Most open source
desktop GIS programs like OpenJUMP can open and edit the attributes of
Shapefile. Is that an option?

If not, you could send me the file and I could see if I could open it in
Microsoft Excel.

Hi all,
do some of you know how to edit a shapefile's dbf file?
I tried with OpenOffice Calc but I have the following error:
"Connection to file could not be established"
I have to add some attribute that I have in an other file and they are a

lot of data.

Thanks in advance for help

Silvia
