Hello,
I have a shapefile that I am trying to upload to Community Analyst. It is a polygon file of school districts, the zip file is 1.5MB. When I click on the "Import" button, nothing happens. I am able to successfully import this zipped shapefile into ArcGIS Explorer Online, which tells me that the file is not damaged (at least, not for ArcGIS Explorer Online). I have been able to successfully import other zipped shapefiles into Community Analyst.
File is attached.
Any idea what the problem is?
Thanks,

Thank you Jason, that did the trick!
It would have been good if an error message had popped up to tell me that. I have had messages come up when the file size is too large or the number of points/polygon is too high. Maybe vertices can get an error message as well?
Thanks again,

Back again - I'm having problems again importing Shapefiles into Community Analyst. This time, they are Congressional District boundaries for the State of Colorado. I started with the original boundaries, received the error message:
"Unable to read polygons from shapefile. Invalid data."
I went back and ran the Simplify Polygon tool, since that had worked before. After running this and uploading a new file I still get this error message: "Unable to read polygons from shapefile. Invalid data."
I'm attaching both .zip files - maybe you can help me figure out what's wrong with these?
CO_CGD_112.zip - original boundary file
CO_CGD_112_v4.zip - simplified boundary file.
Thanks in advance!

They are Congressional District polygons for Colorado. I started with the shapefile "cgd112p020.shp" that I downloaded from NationlAtlas.gov - metadata is here: http://nationalatlas.gov/metadata/cgd112p020.faq.html
I don't know how the scale was set to 1:35. How would this happen?
