> Hi,<br>

> GDAL finds up to five layers from OSM files as you can read from<br>
> <a href="http://www.gdal.org/ogr/drv_osm.html">http://www.gdal.org/ogr/drv_osm.html</a>.<br>
> The error message suggests that GDAL MapInfo driver cannot create several<br>
> layers into tab file but by reading <a href="http://www.gdal.org/ogr/drv_mitab.html">http://www.gdal.org/ogr/drv_mitab.html</a> I<br>
> am not sure if it is so. However, my guess is that GDAL converts first OSM<br>
> points layer into tab format but quits because it cannot continue with the<br>
> lines layer. The solution is to make conversion layer by layer like<br>
> "ogr2ogr -f "MapInfo File" "C:\DATA\2013\08\osm2\australia_lines.tab"<br>
> "C:\DATA\2013\08\osm2\australia-latest.osm.pbf lines"<br>

<tt><font size="2">I tried the command you suggested, but it returns this error</font></tt><br>
<br>
<tt><font size="2">Unable to open datasource 'C:\DATA\2013\08\osm2\australia-latest.osm.pbf lines'</font></tt><br>
<tt><font size="2">with the following drivers.</font></tt><br>
<tt><font size="2">...</font></tt><br>
<br>
<tt><font size="2">So, appending the word lines to the name of the datasource fails to tell</font></tt><br>
<tt><font size="2">ogr2ogr to translate just the lines. Is there a different argument to</font></tt><br>
<tt><font size="2">accomplish this?</font></tt><br>
