[Qgis-user] Editor Doesn't Save New Values in Shapefile

[Ramon Andiñach]

Hi Lee,

I don't have an answer, but I have seen similar things if I've been editing the strings and then go into the attribute table without saving first. 

Is it possible to post a bit of your shape file somewhere for those that know what they're doing to look at? This may help.
