There are 100s of polygons within a 5000 acre tract, so I'm<br>really hoping this has a solution.

Perhaps you can save some work with copy-paste.<br><br>It feels like your previous save has been at least partially successful<br>because some features have been deleted but on QGIS side the deletion has<br>not been confirmed. Let's hope that at least part of inserts and edits have<br>been actually saved also.<br><br>-Jukka Rahkonen-<br><br><br>_______________________________________________<br>Qgis-user mailing list<br><a ymailto="mailto:Qgis-user@lists.osgeo.org" href="mailto:Qgis-user@lists.osgeo.org">Qgis-user@lists.osgeo.org</a><br><a href="http://lists.osgeo.org/mailman/listinfo/qgis-user" target="_blank">http://lists.osgeo.org/mailman/listinfo/qgis-user</a><br><br></div> </div> </div> </div> </div></body></html>
