[Qgis-user] too long field

[Aitor Bastarrica Izaguirre]

Dear QGIS users,
I have an issue with the location based attribute join (spatial join).
I have two shapefile, a point and a polygon layer. I would like to  
compute a sum statistic (based on the points that are inside each  
polygon). The problem is that the original fields are already 10  
characters long, and when the program tries to add the SUM prefix, it  
exceeds the 10 characters limit, and it shows an error dialog.

I'm working on 1.7.4 version.

Any suggestions?

Best regards,
