The shapefile works fine on three computers in my office but not on one. The coordinate system is good, all the files are there (.prj,.sbn,.sbx,.shp,.shx), and no issues on the other computers. I didn't see anyone else with this error online, just 'unknown coordinate system' but the coordinate system is fine...</SPAN><BR /><BR /><SPAN>Any help would be much appreciated!</SPAN></BODY></HTML> Tue, 07 Jan 2014 17:04:41 GMT https://community.esri.com/t5/arcgis-explorer-desktop-questions/failed-to-add-shapefile-unknown-failure/m-p/135417#M812 TracyDash 2014-01-07T17:04:41Z Re: Failed to add shapefile: unknown failure https://community.esri.com/t5/arcgis-explorer-desktop-questions/failed-to-add-shapefile-unknown-failure/m-p/135418#M813 <HTML><HEAD></HEAD><BODY><SPAN>Do you have your '.dbf'?</SPAN></BODY></HTML> Tue, 07 Jan 2014 17:20:38 GMT https://community.esri.com/t5/arcgis-explorer-desktop-questions/failed-to-add-shapefile-unknown-failure/m-p/135418#M813 JoshuaChisholm 2014-01-07T17:20:38Z Re: Failed to add shapefile: unknown failure https://community.esri.com/t5/arcgis-explorer-desktop-questions/failed-to-add-shapefile-unknown-failure/m-p/135419#M814 <HTML><HEAD></HEAD><BODY><SPAN>Yes, sorry I forgot to add that, I do have a .dbf.</SPAN></BODY></HTML> Tue, 07 Jan 2014 17:29:08 GMT https://community.esri.com/t5/arcgis-explorer-desktop-questions/failed-to-add-shapefile-unknown-failure/m-p/135419#M814 TracyDash 2014-01-07T17:29:08Z Re: Failed to add shapefile: unknown failure https://community.esri.com/t5/arcgis-explorer-desktop-questions/failed-to-add-shapefile-unknown-failure/m-p/135420#M815 <HTML><HEAD></HEAD><BODY><SPAN>Ok, then I'm not sure. </SPAN><BR /><BR /><SPAN>I can only think of one thing (if you're prone to the same kind of dumb mistakes as I am).
