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
