Hi David
Just to Clarify Richards comments. A shape file is a collection of
files, all with the same prefix. At a minimum, you should have 3 files,
*.shp, *.shx and *.dbf. There may also be a few more files as well
depending on how the file was created. You may just have the *.shp
file which is creating the error.

Do you have the "side car" files .shx and .dbf and possibly others?

Hello
I'm pointing the Data source Manager|Vector at a .shp file and
getting the error "Invalid Data Source". The file exists on an
external drive, and the path is valid - any ideas on what could be
causing this?
