[Openspace] opening my shape file

[Coro Chasco Yrigoyen]

Dear Debra Hevenstone,

Are you sure that your zip codes are NOT in text format? That's because the 
ID column must be integer (number). Maybe you've got some repeated zip 
codes in your database: have you checked it?

Hope this helps.

Coro.
