[Qgis-user] Loading ESRI .mdb geodatabase

[Lester Anderson]

No problem Felipe. Still cannot figure out how to get QGIS to read the .mdb
file. It is an Arc 10 version I know, but that should not be a problem.

Even tried just drag-and-drop on the view screen area and still got an
error saying it was unrecognised.

Cheers
