<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:#1F497D">That is a vector file format. A MapInfo layer is made up of those parts, the Tab bit will be the only bit you see from the load vector dialogue because it is the Tab file that links those parts together. The
DAT file contains the attribute table, MAP contains the geometry etc. (see here:
</span><a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/MapInfo_TAB_format">MapInfo TAB format - Wikipedia</a>).

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:#1F497D"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:#1F497D">Just load that TAB bit and the layer will load in, you shouldn’t need to convert it to another format. QGIS will happily open and edit MapInfo Tabs.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
