    Hi this is a really basic question (apologies) and its really bugging me that I can;t remember how to do this (or find an answer on google).

    But I can't seem to add the RMP data that you download from Archaeology.ie's map viewer to ArcGis 9.3. I download the file selecting county, monument, type, co-ordinate system, and select file type .shp

    Create a new project in ArcGis desktop, click on the little + button that adds data (having linked in folder etc) however the files I download from archaeology.ie don't seem to appear, other shapefiles I have from previous tutorials and ones downloaded from other sources do appear.

    If I try downloading as a File Geodatabase (.gdb) this is also not visible, however if I unzip and extract the Geodatabase I can open one file, however this file is simply the SMR zones and is not much use.

    I'm sure I'm making a simple error here but at the minute can't for the life of me think what it is.
