[Qgis-user] Missing data in attribute table

This shapefile has a database file associated, it's very likely it is a DBF
file. Since you have the information loaded with the identifier tool, this
means that this information is stored in the DBF file, but, QGIS displays
more information than that stored in DBF file, like coordinates, perimeter,
area, when we are working with polygons.
This may seem silly, but, could you make sure there is information in the
DBF file that is not showing in the attribute table? If the only
information missing in the attribute table are the coordinates, this is
normal, because they are not stored in the DBF file, if you need to obtain
this information you're gonna need to "Save as..." your layer and in the
"Layer" text window add "GEOMETRY=AS_XY" to get two extra columns in the
layer you saved, containing coordinates.
Hope this helps.
