Hi Richard, Your plugin will be great! I tried it but did not get the right result, all of the points get loaded in to a shapefile (the table is intact), but it they are all placed at one or two x,y points... I attached a dbf, you can give it a try. These are the center points of communes in a particular province in Vn.
Agustin, thanks for your reply- yes, I always hav my layer import encoding set for UTF-8. I have had day where I forgot it though and was scratching my head until I figured it out!
