<p>Hi Paddy,</p>
<p>The .shp file contains the geometries. If your data contains no geometries, then you might be fine with the .dbf file that contains the no-geometry part of your data (attribute columns). No - it is not possible to recreate the .shp file if it is missing.</p>

<div dir="auto">Hi,
<div dir="auto"> So, just to confirm what I already suspect? If you have the .shx and .dbf files but the .shp file is missing then you might as well get rid of them? It is not possible to recreate the .shp file?</div>
