Ok got it. This works fine: http://gis.stackexchange.com/questions/6398/join-non-spatial-csv-to-spatial-data-in-qgis Have a question from that link though. There's a suggestion in the answers that fTools can do this too. In 1.6 I can see Data Management tools -> Join Attributes In my 1.7 I can't (screenshots available). Is it still ment to be there? Or is the Properties/Join tab considered an adequate replacement. -ramon. _______________________________________________ Qgis-user mailing list [email protected] http://lists.osgeo.org/mailman/listinfo/qgis-user
