[R-sig-Geo] Merging shapefiles and csv

[Lyndon Estes]

Hi Sam,

One thing you might check is the column names in your csv file. If you
can change them to something simpler, without periods in them, etc,
that might get rid of the problem.  There are some threads on this
problem as well, I believe.

Cheers, Lyndon
