Reading Problem

[bozbey]

I Have a reading problem with OpenGeoDa. I downloaded sample data and
shape files from geoda center web page but ı cant open shape files
with GeoDa. It warn me "there was a problem reading in the dbf file".
I'm sure all map files are have same name and all are placed in same
folder in my computer... But GeoDa dont open shape files... Please
Help!

Hi,

Please make sure there are no special characters in your file or path
name, e.g. 嘉, 丽, é or ñ or å etc. You can test this by creating a test
folder on C:/ and rename your shapefiles test.shp, .shx, .dbf etc. and
place them in the test folder, which should resolve the problem.

Best,

Julia
