GDB files

Question

I have been sent some files which each contain 4 file extensions. They have the following extensions:

.gdbtablx

.gdbindexes

a gdbtable file

a VLC media file

I have ArcGIS 10.3, but have no idea how to open or view these files - please can you advise?

Many thanks,

Jenny

Hi Jenny,

I was forwarded the email that you sent to the geonet email address.

I think that the files that you were given will not work at all. I believe that you are missing many missing files that are required.

As for copying data into the new file geodatabase. Make sure that you are copying/pasting data that you can preview in ArcCatalog.

If you need more assistance, you may want to contact your local Esri contact and get a support case opened and have an analyst help you with this issue in more detail.

Hi George, Many thanks for your prompt response. I am unfamiliar with how to use geodatabases correctly (only this morning I started an online Esri course on them). Please could you advise as to which method I use to add the files into the geodatabase?
