[Qgis-user] All attribute info GONE!

[Andreas Neumann]

Hi Merryn, 

What data formats are you using? 

In case you are using shapefiles - can you check if all the necessary
files are around? Note that a shapefile consists of several files: 

 	* .shp --> geometry
 	* .dbf --> attributes (perhaps this file is missing?)
 	* .prj --> projection info
 	* .shx --> index file
 	* potentially more.

All files would have the same name, but they would have different file
extensions. You need at least those two. 

The two most important ones are .shp .dbf 

Greetings, 

Andreas

I go back to open QGIS file and I discover that the main file and associated subfiles have been deleted. I restore them from the bins but when I open all the vectors are still there but attribute tables are empty!!! If i zoom to the file it doesn't show anything. Does anyone know what she could have done and how I can fix it? Is it possible that she saved as the vector with the same name and accidentally deleted all the data existing data??
