hi, is there any reason why you can only create fieldnames with max. 11 characters in the attribut table? ok, you can create one with more than 11, but when you save and re-open the layer, the fieldname is cut to 11 characters... carl--

Strange, I thought that dBASE file format is what limits the length of the name field. Have a look at for example http://www.geocities.com/geoff_wass/dBASE/GaryWhite/dBASE/FAQ/qformt.htm There you can read that dBASE file format at least up to version 5 gives only 11 bytes for field name. I w

I thought I would add my two cents on Java 1.6. SkyJUMP currently uses Java 1.6.0_01. I recently considered upgrading to Java 1.6.0_05, but found that it was VERY much slower. Everything was slower. The GUI was visibly more sluggish. Of course, it may be only on my particular processor, but it

Hi SS, >It sounds like we need to give it some more time. I think so. There is almost no value added to require Java 1.6. OJ can still run under it fine if someone wants to. It is still a lot faster than 1.5 if you stick to the 1.6.0_01 release. Larry On Wed, Apr 16, 2008 at 12:36 PM, Sunbur
