Dear All,

I had a similar issue with QGIS 0.9 on Windows XP Home. I
can't remember details and I don't have a Windows box handy.
But I do remember for sure the "WARNING: ATTRIBUTES MISSING"
and a DBF error in GRASS Edit, as well as that v.to.db in
GRASS Toolbox refused to let me select a column I wanted to
populate.

These happened when I was showing QGIS-GRASS integration to
a Windows colleague. Anybody confirms?

I've been using GRASS Edit on GNU/Linux daily and no such
problems here. v.to.db from GRASS Toolbox works OK too.

I'm not sure whether these issues were due to QGIS itself or
GRASS-Windows interaction.

It would be great if a developer with access to Windows and
interested in GRASS-QGIS functionality could try to
reproduce the errors.
