Hi, >>> I do not understand what is the matter with the length of file names. >>> The shapefile specification says : "All file names adhere to the 8.3 naming convention. The main file, the index file, and the dBASE file have the same prefix. The prefix must start with an alphanumeric character (a–Z, 0–9), followed by zero or up to seven characters (a–Z, 0–9, _, -). The suffix for the main file is .shp. The suffix for the index file is .shx. The suffix for the dBASE table is .dbf. All letters in a file name are in lower case on operating systems with case sensitive file names."
But this is shapefile specification, not dbf and I don't know any software that check the 8.3 filename rule is followed ! Perhaps some old dbf driver still stick to this very old 8.3 name restriction... Just a guess, no other idea for now ;-) Michaël > > don't ask me... but he said it works when changing to short file names. > > stefan > > ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ > ThinkGeek and WIRED's GeekDad team up for the Ultimate > GeekDad Father's Day Giveaway.
