my browser only showed two files and when I hit reply then 4 showed up. You need files xxxx.shp and xxxx.shx and xxxx.dbf and typically the prj is a projection txt file describing what projection the shape file(s)....are created under. It is not needed. Trimble is looking for "shape" files that are "non projected lat long". I am not sure what the mcd file is about. xxxx=all 3 files having the same name. Arnie |
