 This format works for me under MS4.0 when using TAB files. As far as projections go, giving no projection is better than the wrong one. But, I don't believe projection is your issue here.

Being new to MapServer, do you think this has anything to do with my
projection settings? The tabs are using "British National Grid". 

I use the following:

PROJECTION
"init=epsg:27700"
END

I have the line "FORCE TRUE" in my LAYER declaration for a POINT type
layer.

Hi,

I have set MapServer 4.0 up with the demo, I have used OGR to load a
POLYGON type layer from a tab, but cannot get it to work with LINE or
POINT.

This is a sample of the layer in my map file:

# This works
LAYER
NAME Counties_region
TYPE POLYGON
STATUS DEFAULT
CONNECTIONTYPE OGR
CONNECTION "data/Counties.TAB"
STYLEITEM "AUTO"
CLASS
NAME "Counties"
END
PROJECTION
"AUTO"
END
END # Layer

# This doesn't work
LAYER
NAME Motorways
TYPE LINE
STATUS DEFAULT
CONNECTIONTYPE OGR
CONNECTION "data/Motorways.TAB"
STYLEITEM "AUTO"
CLASS
NAME "Motorways"
END
PROJECTION
"AUTO"
END
END # Layer

I hope someone can explain what I'm doing wrong.

Thanks in advance

Phil Maskell
