[Qgis-user] Limit to Geodatabase File Size?

[Stephen Wandling]

I too am a new user, but I had an experience that may relate to what you 
have described.

I loaded a base map.  I then loaded a shape file from the local Regional 
District.  I right clicked on that layer and selected "Set Project CRS 
from Layer".  And the base map vanished!

I finally realized, with a lot of help from folks on this list, that the 
base map did not have the proper CRS.  From that I learned how to setup 
up On The Fly (OTF) conversions in QGIS.  Now when I add that same base 
map, it now says "EPSG:26910 (OTF)", down in the lower right corner.

That is the general idea.  I will leave it to others to walk you through 
the details.
