Hello All. I have asked this question before but never figured out a solution, so I'm going to ask again: I have the 1996 PCCF for Ontario, Canada. I have established the appropriate fields (27 in total) based on the documentation provided by StatsCan. However, I have problems with the Latitude and Longitude columns. The data as it is presently looks something like this (with data structure in brackets). Latitude Longitude 45.144566 (decimal 9,6) -76.226044 (character 11) If I change the Longitude to (decimal 9,6) all the values change to -9. I'm thinking I might be able to do something by converting the longitudes to a positive value as opposed to the given negative value. Am I correct? It follows that the table as it exists now, will not allow me to "create points", therefore is not really "mappable" (a requirement for geocoding?). Also, by studying a 'working' PCCF file from 1991 I see that the Latitude/Longitude columns are Decimal (6,0) and Decimal (7,0), respectively. The result is a reference that reads: Latitude Longitude 432,237 792,193 The 1991 table also contains UTM references. Is it possible to add 2 new columns with the lat/long converted to UTM x/y coordinates for the 1996 data? Is anyone at all familiar with geocoding using the PCCF? I'll be grateful for any help you can give.
