Hello: We haven't gotten help from our IT folks, so I'm looking for insights from the list. About a month ago our old server crashed. A new server was installed and all of the backup data was uploaded to the new server. We have read/write access to files and folders - everything seems normal. However, in ArcGIS we cannot load GIS shapefiles that are sitting on the new server. We're getting the following message "Open Failed - Error opening feature class." We can load raster, geodatabase, and CAD files. Does anyone have thoughts or solutions to this? Thanks, Jeff ______________________________________ Jeff Bolton, Supervising Environmental Analyst Connecticut Division of Construction Services 165 Capitol Avenue, Room 482, Hartford, CT 06106 [log in to unmask]<mailto:[log in to unmask]> || www.ct.gov/dcs<http://www.ct.gov/dcs> 860-713-5706 (office) || 860-655-0477 (cell) ------------------------------------------------------------------------- This list (CTGIS-L) is an unmoderated discussion list for all CT GIS Users.
