[Qgis-user] How to open a file geodatabase?

[Luke]

Hi


If you goto Settings\Options\GDAL you will see a list of formats your
version of QGIS can currently open

If you install QGIS via OSGeo4W you can add the ESRI FileGDB API option

Also remember you can only open FGDB which are v.10 (or above? not sure)

Regards,
Luke B
