title: CPL_write_ogr error when writing out shape file in R
body: <p>I've used this script multiple times already and it worked fine until now. I'm currently getting an error when I try writing out the shape files. Can anyone give me some insight on what this error means? The shape file in my input seems to be a normal shape file. Also, nowhere in my code am I trying to create an Object field.  </p>
  
  <p>Here's the error I am receiving: </p>
  
  <pre><code>Writing layer MonroeMD14F0037_1' to data source N:\MonroeMD14F0037_1.shp' using driver ESRI Shapefile Creating field ÃƒÆ’_OBJECT failed.Error in CPL_write_ogr(obj, dsn, layer, driver, as.character(dataset_options),  :
