Take the 2-minute tour ×  I am using QGIS 1.7.3 on Mac and when
I try to use the tool "join" in the properties toolbox, I have
no possibility to add a name for either the file or the field
used to join tables.  Has anyone encountered this problem and
solved it ???  share|improve this question add comment  1 Answer
You will need to first load both of the layers you want to join
into the map canvas - there is no option to add an additional
file once you've opened the Properties dialog. Or am I
misunderstanding the problem?  You can add any OGR compatible
layer - e.g. a CSV file - as a layer (doesn't need to be a
delimited text layer with X and Y!) and then do a join. The
layer names and field should show up for all loaded layers.
