Kapo -

You can also change values in the database using v.db.update.

If you really MUST directly edit the DBFs, they will open in Open Office as spreadsheets.

GRASSers,

Is there a way to edit DBF files directly in GRASS? I know it is possible
to use database commands to edit columns but I'm more interested in
manually just changing one value at a time in a row in a graphical manner
if possible.

Thanks.

Thank you all for your quick replies,

I did find the GUI mentioned by Daniel. It works in Linux but is greyed out in Wingrass!

This is an unfortunately still open bug:
