[Qgis-user] data source is invalid

[Jeff McKenna]

Hi Anna,

I would start by examining how GDAL reads your shapefile, by executing 
at the commandline:

   ogrinfo name.shp name -summary

Then follow the error messages there (or paste the response here so we 
can all see).

Also verify that the shapefile's associated files live in the same 
directory: .shp  .shx  .dbf
