<P><FONT SIZE=2 FACE="Arial">Problem:</FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2 FACE="Arial">-------------</FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2 FACE="Arial">When importing regularly with attribute tables the process halts part way through. Not all the vectors are imported. There are lots of holes left in the dataset. The error was refering to incorrect format of a column….</FONT></P>
<BR>
<P><FONT SIZE=2 FACE="Arial">Current Solution:</FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2 FACE="Arial">--------------------------</FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2 FACE="Arial">Importing vector shape without attribute table. All the vecotrs import without holes. However, of course I'd like to have the attribute tables</FONT></P>
<P><FONT SIZE=2 FACE="Arial">Next attempt to work around</FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2 FACE="Arial">-----------------------------------------</FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2 FACE="Arial">Never tried anything like this before but I'll try to just move the DBF file over to the DBF directory and try to connect to it manualy. I'm sure there will be a disconect somehow. If you have experience with this approach then let me know.</FONT></P>
