Hi Michael,<br>
<br>
you can try Postgis. There is a function that fit the points into
the closest geometry chosen, once you have this layer fitted, maybe
you could try to calculate the distance between the points that have
same ID, is not a direct solution, but maybe could help.<br>

<p>I am trying to calculate the distance from points to vector
lines. There are various ways of doing this when there are
relatively few points and lines but my datset has 200,000
points and a large network of vector lines and none of the
tools I have tried in qgis seem to get anywhere. I have also
tried converting the lines to raster but not clear what
resolution to use and with high resolution the problem also
seems to be that it takes forever to do the calculation. If
the tools gave an indication as to how long it is likely to
take that would be a help e.g. 12 hours but waiting 12 hours
on the chance that somethign might happen and still nothing is
very frustrating.<br>
