Hi, I have a shapefile of points representing the known locations of 20-30 species. Is their any way I can point a routine at a table field and have it create multiple shapefiles based on the values in this field, essentially creating separate shapefiles for each species? -- Cheers Simon Simon Cropper Botanicus Australia Pty Ltd PO Box 160, Sunshine, Victoria 3020.
