Hi Adedayo,

If you need to modify attributes in the dbf file, you should only do this
in a GIS software such as www.qgis.org - never modify the dbf on its own
(eg in Excel) as this will result in a corrupt shapefile. It's also much
easier to define the projection or to convert to a different projection in
QGIS, and once you have your shapefile ready you can simply save it as a
gml file.
