[Qgis-user] field datatype issue

[James Wood]

If you load in the file geodatabase feature class, does QGIS see the correct values? If so, is there any reason not to edit it as a file geodatabase in QGIS?

Best regards,
James

I appended the edits to the corresponding featureclass in the geodatabase using ArcDesktop then exported a new shapefile to continue editing. The new shapefile for some reason will only hold 7 digits yet there are numerous 10 digit numbers pre-existing. The field description is double, real, 18 so why will it only accept 7 digits? The field is only suppose to be a scale of 10 with a precision of 0, ArcDesktop sees this but QGIS insists all values are XXXXXXXX.00000000000
