Dear RHS,

To spatially join GIS data first in QGIS, I first downloaded the GIS file from the DHS website and unzipped the entire folder into its own folder in the working directory.

I then opened QGIS, pressed "ADD VECTOR LAYER", browsed to my GPS DHS 2008 folder, selected EGGE5DFL.shp, then pressed open.

There appeared something like a map.

I then clicked Vector > Data Management Tools> Join attributes by location.

I am now supposed to set Target vector layer field to Cities_Settlements_0000 and set Join vector layer to DHS_Regions. (See Attached File), but I could not. Both the target and the join vector layer fields can only be set to EGGE5DFL.

Please advise.

Thank you.
