Hey Katie,
So - you should be able to add your csv in the "Add Vector layer" dialog
box and selecting Comma Separated Value [OGR]. I just added a pretty
hefty worksheet from excel that had been converted to CSV to QGIS.
If you right click your shapefile -> properties -> Join and you should
be good to go.

Hi,
I'm pretty new to QGIS and could use some help with a challenge, if
that's appropriate to ask on this e-mail list.
I have a shapefile of California counties. And, I want to add a
non-spatial table that I can join with the shape file. The table is
saved as a .csv and I made a .csvt to go with it. When I try to add
the .csv as a vector layer, I get an error message that the file path
is "not a valid or recognized data source." I made sure that there are
no special characters or spaces in the file names, paths, and column
headers. Can anyone explain the conditions that need to exist for it
to be a valid or recognized data source? I'm using QGIS 2.0.1-Dufour,
if that matters.
Thanks,
Katie
