[Qgis-user] Re: [Qgis-developer] JOIN error

[Agustin Lobo]

Hi!
I circumvented the problem using the older tool in fTools
Vector/Data Management Tools/Join
(Carson is going to restore this option to fTools until we make
sure Properties/Joints is always working)
and also using R (both results are identical).
