Did you happen to lose any of the component files that comprise the shapefiles?

 

 

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
