shapes does not match the number of table records" Cause There is a mismatch between the number of features and the number of records in the DBF file.This can be caused by editing the shapefile DBF table in Microsoft Excel.This can also be caused by an ArcMap crash while the shapefile open failed error opening feature class is being edited. Solution or Workaround The options listed below may fix the problem.Warning:Please be aware that third-party scripts and extensions are unsupported by Esri. It is highly recommended that a backup copy of the shapefile be created before running the damaged shapefile through either of these utilities.Use the 'ShapeFile Repairer' utility available on ArcScripts to fix the mismatch. A link is provided in the Related Information section below.
Note:For the ShapeFile Repairer Utility to work correctly, ensure the language setting of the computer matches the language used to create the shapefile. Use the 'Shapefile Repair Tool' by Jerry Workman. A link is provided in the Related Information section below.Use ArcInfo Workstation to convert the shapefile to a coverage and back to a new shapefile using the following command sequence.Warning:This option is only available with the ArcGIS ArcInfo license with ArcInfo Workstation installed!Code:Arc: precision double doubleArEarly Adopter Program ArcGIS Ideas Esri Support Services ArcGIS Blogs ArcGIS Code Sharing Product Life Cycles Manage Cases Request Case Start Chat

I then downloaded version 10.3 ArcGIS Desktop Advanced. Now when I open the mxd, all of the data links are broken. when I open properties to reset the data source, I get an error: "***Error opening Feature Class". I get the same error on a blank map and adding a shapefile. I tried to preview the same error opening feature shapefiles in arcCatalog - I get the same error plus an additional that says "number of shapes does not match number of table records" Any ideas? My final strategy will be to uninstall 10.3 and go back to the earlier version. There are some shapefiles that will open in ArcMap, but not very many. I haven't figured out a pattern yet. I can open ALL of the shapefiles fine in QGIS. I've never had 10.1 on this device - I had to move my license over. I am on a Surface Pro with Windows 8.1 and 64 bit. I did initially download Pro - and then realized my license didn't cover that, so then downloaded Desktop 10.3. Perhaps something in Pro is interfering? Still, some data works and some does not. Does anyone know if there are any utilities needed to "upgrade" shapefiles to 10.3? Is there a format or support change? I did a clean uninstall. Installed 10.2.2 instead. Same issues. I tried using Jody Marca's Shapefile fixer without effect. Also went through the entire list of ESRI suggestions: Check Geo, Repair Geo, delete portions of shapefile, etc. I did notice that there is a lock file from my old computer on some of the unopenable shapefiles.

Merge goes fine but when I do any other process on it (e.g. Adding a field, calculations etc), the merged file is corrupted. When I want to view the shapefile I get a message "Open Failed ... Number of shapes do not match number of table records" I tried to check geometry of the merged file (before any process was launched) and found 4 self-intersections. I tried to repair geometry to fix them but it did not help! Edit: Sorry for a late response and thank you everyone for getting back to me! I really appreciate it! The version I am using is 10.2.0.3348. Unfortunately the files are heavy (each over 2GB, there are 7) to upload. Besides, they are from the Provincial Ministry and I am not sure if I could put them in the public domain. I received the data as a geodatabase (certain forest operations in individual management units of a region). I need to extract a few variables from this data to join with another large dataset at regional scale for further analyses (décisions are at regional scale). I had earlier scripted the entire process in Python (which was working fine on several other regions). Since my script was always looking for shapefiles (and moreso I am unsure of working with geodatabases directly), I extracted individual shapefiles. The initial process is supposed to merge the shapefiles into a region, add a few fields and calculate them. The merge goes through but no other process on it (e.g. add field). @Polygeo, the process works on a subset (perhaps the subset did not have self-intersection issues)? I displayed all the data in ArcMap, exported them as individual shapefiles, merged, made a new copy (through
