If there is a solution to the field naming issue, please reply to the
SHRUG list. I wondered if it was possible to change field names (either
in geodatabases or shapefiles).
Thanks.

Subject: shrug-l: Renaming a field name
Does anyone have any advice on how to rename field names in the
attribute table? I have a shapefile that consists of joined attribute
tables and need to clean up the field names. Once in editor mode, I can
edit data within the fields but not the field name. Can someone give me
a tip on how to rename the field names? I have tried to edit field
names in the dbf in excel but it seems to destroy the shapefile. Its
probably something really simple to fix but I can't put my finger on
it...
Thanks,
Ken
