[Qgis-user] reprojecting data

[Dennis M. Linton]

It has been my understanding that this procedure is supposed to work to
reproject.  Howerver, I am never successful.  I use 'EPSG:26917 -
NAD83 / UTM zone 17N' almost exclusively but upon loading files that
were supposed to be saved in that CRS, I find that they are always
'EPSG:2150 - NAD83(CSRS98) / UTM zone 17N (deprecated)'.

I have project default CRS set to 'EPSG:26917 - NAD83 / UTM zone 17N'
and OTF on by default.  Regardless of whether I additionally specify
'EPSG:26917 - NAD83 / UTM zone 17N' when creating a layer or if I do a
Layer->Save As, the result always loads as 'EPSG:2150 - NAD83(CSRS98) /
UTM zone 17N (deprecated)'.

I must be doing something incorrectly - can anyone enlighten me?

Best regards,
	Dennis
