This looks like the solution. Thank you Adrian.

I have figured out the problem now but don't know how to solve. I started with a clean file in QGIS that was clean and accepted by ArcGIS. This file had some multipart polygons, which I wanted to split into single polygons, so I ran that function in QGIS. This is the souce of the problem. ArcGIS would not recognize the file once I split the multiparts to single polygons. I'm not sure if there are some setting I would need to adjust to get ArcGIS to accept the new file or perhaps there is a function in ArcGIS to do the same. Thanks Darrin

Creating a shp.xml file did not solve the problem. I created new versions of the two shapefiles (and ancillary files) in QGIS to see if there was a corruption issue but that did not solve anything. Within ArcGIS I checked the properties of the "good" and "bad" files. The "good file" was listed as follows: - Shapefile Feature Class - A file path was listed = Geometry type = Polygon The "bad file" was listed as follows: - Cannot connect to database Both files are contained in the same folder. I'm not sure if creating a geodatabase has any relevance to this problem as my level of understanding of ArcGIS is limited but I did manage to create such a database file in ArcGIS for the "good" file but have been unable to replicate for the "bad" file as an error is produced when doing so: Running script FeatureClassToGeodatabase... Failed to convert: C:\Users\Darrin\....\Temp2.shp. ERROR 999999: Error executing function.Failed to execute (CopyFeatures). As gar as I can tell 999999 is a generic error code so unable to decipher. Thanks Darrin

I have found a difference between the old version of the shapefile that does add to the map and the version that I need to add to the map. Both versions have the following file types: cpg, dbf, prj, qpj, shp, shx. The file that is successfully adding to the map also has an shp.xml file, while the other file does not. I suspect that is the reason and perhaps I may just need to figure out how I generate that file type. I can't recall but I may have done it within ArcGIS by first exporting my shapefile to a geodatabase. I could be wrong but I vaguely remember doing something like with the older file in a random attempt to get this to work. We'll see how it goes.

Thank you Dan. I'll give it a try.

Thank you Adrian. Yes, I have included those files. The odd thing is that I was able to add one particular shapefile to the map (an earlier version of the file I am most interested in adding) which was also generated from QGIS so this is very perplexing to me and difficult to troubleshoot.

Yes. Thank you.

The shape file was created in QGIS. It is is clean file with no reported errors according to diagnostic tools in QGIS. But, when I attempt to load to a map in ArcGIS pro, the above error message appears. At a loss as to what else to try.
