Nevermind, all is good. It helps if you execute the new code and not the
one in the path! <sigh>

Hi all,
I am stumped by this. I am trying to copy a shapefile and append a new
attribute column to it. The loop below adds all the existing fields, but
the code following does not add the new field. I have been trying to
figure this out for hours and I assume it is something really stupid
that I am missing, but ...
I would appreciate a hint on this.
