Hi List,
I've these pretty big .dbf-files (that is more then the 64000something
you can edit in Excel/Openoffice), without corresponding shp file.
I was told to edit those in arcview, but off course wanted to do this in
qgis. But I fail to open/edit them.
I tried both in metis in xp and
Hi Richard,
Probably that doesn't help you at all but the only program I know (And
unfortunately HAVE to use when editing bigger .dbf files than the
mentioned 65536 lines) is the statistical program SPSS.
Very rarely I have to edit such big files too and still found no other
way to comfortably
I had similar problems. My workaround (not a solution) was migrating
the dbf to a sqlite db.
I use grass to do it (db.copy)

Try the shapelib programs:
They include dbfdump, a simple utility to extract the contents of a dbf to a
text file, From here they can pretty easily be edited directly or loaded into a
database such as Postgres or Mysql for updating.

OpenOffice handles large dbf files using OpenOffice Base.
Start OpenOffice Base, which should display the Database Wizard and
select Connect to an existing database and select dBase from the drop
down list.

I've only peripherally been following this thread, but could you not use
shp2psql and then edit them in PostGIS? Then reexport to a shapefile?
It's not in QGIS but it should work.
