Hi BadF,

Your record 48 and record 49 is invalid both in shp and dbf file, the other spatial tool for example QGis and GlobalMapper just ignore the invalid record, so you cannot validate that.

We help you remove the invalid record in the file attached, you can use it directly no need to replace dll, wish it’s helpful.
