[ERR2506] Shapefile Related Error

Message:	[ERR2506] DBF file is invalid (field {field name} duplicated) - {dbf file}.
Message type:	Log error message. A message is written in the Spatial Server log file only. No message is sent to the Application Server and the client.
Used during service administration:	YES
Used during request:	YES

Notes:

Shapefile .dbf files cannot have two fields with the same name. Try viewing the shapefile in Author. If you cannot view the shapefile in Author, then the Spatial Server will not accept the shapefile. You will need to update the shapefile and change the name of one of the fields before using it in an ArcIMS Service.
