Hello Charles & Sebastian,
Thanks very much for your suggestions. I did try the Geopackage but it
seems much less convenient for my needs than shapefiles or CSV files. I
didn't try the xlsx option as I require a CSV table as the primary table
in the join (to import UTM coordinates). Other spreadsheet formats do
not trigger the X/Y georeferencing options found in the delimited text
file type.
I need to frequently add UTM positions to the primary table plus make
manual edits to it so it needs to be a shapefile. However, with care, I
can copy and paste new UTM records from a CSV file into the primary
shapefile.
Anyway, thanks again, your suggestions helped me along . . . . .

Cheers, Springfield

As far as I'm aware you cannot edit external flat file tables like
csv as they are imported into a QGIS project in a read only state.
I would try exporting those tables to a database table (like a
geopackage table without geometry) and then performing the join to
see if you get the desired result.

Hello All:
Using version 3.10.10, I have joined two MS Excel files:
Positions.csv
and catalogue.xls using a common field called Tag. This is a tree
inventory project.
All is well except I cannot edit either table from within
QGIS. I need
to create some new positions manually and generally update the
tables
continuously.
In the Join dialogue, I have selected Enable Editing but it
has no effect.
I feel that different file types or a different procedure may
facilitate
this process but am exhausted from trying so many blind alleys.
Is there a trick to being able to edit joined tables?
Thanks very much . . . .
