[Qgis-user] Re: Join Attributes - no Shapefile createt (QGIS 1.4)

[Claas Leiner]

Thanks for answers,

when I openend the termine.dbf with OpenOffice.org, delete the dbf-infos
in the column-heads, save the file as *.odt and then save the file as
*.dbf (utf8), I can join the termine.dbf. The encoding was the problem,
I think.
