All of my exercises and projects from the tutorial have worked fine, but as soon as I open up existing projects from our company database none of the existing layers will show. They all have a red exclamation mark and I can't figure out how to see whats causing the problem. Any advice on where to start?</P></BODY></HTML> Mon, 19 Jan 2015 21:58:04 GMT https://community.esri.com/t5/new-to-gis-questions/layers-on-older-projects-won-t-display/m-p/196950#M486 TravisRoth 2015-01-19T21:58:04Z Re: Layers on older projects won't display https://community.esri.com/t5/new-to-gis-questions/layers-on-older-projects-won-t-display/m-p/196951#M487 <HTML><HEAD></HEAD><BODY><P>The red exclamation mark means that the file is not at the location specified as the data source (for example, the layer is pointed to C:/shapefile.shp, but there is no such file).
