[mapguide-users] Error with loading shp in MG studio

[Tom Fukushima]

Hi Swati,

We noticed a problem with loading SHP files when the .dbf file has
multiple columns with the same name.  

One way to check if this is the case is to try to import the .dbf into
Access. In MS Access: 1) create a new blank db, 2) File > Get External
Data > Import..., 3) select the dBase filter in the "Files of type" drop
down, then 4) select your .dbf file and press Import.

An error that states "The Microsoft Jet database engine could not find
the object 'xyz.dbf'.  Make sure the object exists and that you spell
its name and the path name correctly" should come up.

Could you try the above and see if the same thing happens with your .dbf
files?
 
Thanks
Tom

Thanks for the response. I did check it and no other application is 
accessing the file. I have MG studio installed on the test server itself

and other than the Map server no other application is running. That
system 
does have Autocad installed on it...

The only case where I have seen that problem is when another application
has the shp files locked.  Is it possible that this is the case?
