This question already has an answer here:
I want to rename some fileds on a SHP file, (the fields on the DBF file), using ArcCatalog (ArcGIS Desktop v10.2.2).
From ArcCatalog, right click on a SHP file -> Properties... -> Fields. Then the program let you rename the field and change the data type... apparently.
When I hit Enter or click Apply, an error appears: Failed to alter the name of the field.
The file is not in use, nor read only, and the name of the field is under the 10 character limit.
Ironically, I can do it with gvSIG!
