From your screen shot I guess you're still on 1.6. So the way to go is indeed with the fTools table join feature. You should find "Join Attributes" under the "Vector->Data Management Tools" menu. In this case you'll have to use the DBF formatted table, and you don't need to add it in advance. Rather there's a "Join dbf Table" browse button to choose it. Give it a try and let us know... I didn’t copy this to the list, since I included the screenshot.  I administer a list at work, and we don’t allow attachments.   Thanks for your patience.  I’m usually pretty computer literate, but GIS always makes me feel frustrated. Hope we can help to change that! -- Micha
