    Default shape file

    I have a shape file and the associated dbf file has two columns with the same heading.
    C3D will not let me import this. is there a way to rename one of the columns so it will work?
    I've opened it in excel, but it won't let me save it as a dbf and i'm not sure if that is the correct procedure.

    any help would be appreciated.
    I've heard an open source program called QGIS can possibly assist, but i don't know the procedure.

    TIA

    Unfortunately that didn't work. it gave me an error message about the duplicate field names and sent me back to the pick file location dialogue.

    If you could share the files someone may figure it out.
