I'm trying to join a map to a datafile - using Census Tract as the join field.
My datafile is an MSExcel file - in which I have a field "NuCensusTract" - with format as text. (The Census Tract number is 11 digits) I save the xls file as DBaseV file - with resulting field characteristics as "Character" 11 width. After opening my map file, I Dataview>Join and select the ID field from the Map (which is the CensusTract field) and then open the joining file - my dbf file - and the field "NuCensusTract" is not a visible selection. (The field is present in the file when I open the file - by itself, not attempting to join) I have also tried using the xls file - creating a bin file and using that file to join - get the same reults - the "NuCensusTract" field is not a visible field to select. What do I need to do to make the field visible for selection from the "join to" field dropdown? Help! ------------------------ Yahoo!
