Hi,
I can't say anything about your main problem, but this is easy:
<a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="http://gdal.org/ogr/drv_mitab.html">http://gdal.org/ogr/drv_mitab.html</a>
"Dataset Creation Options
* FORMAT=MIF: To create MIF/MID instead of TAB files (TAB is the default). "
Thus, try -dsco FORMAT=MIF.

Ha! <br>
I did not notice the -dsco option in the ogr2ogr html docs.<br>
Thanks Jukka.<br>
<br>
On a more disturbing note, I notice that (probably due to the ERROR 1
in my first post) I get only 22 attribute fields (but all the records)
when I convert with ogr2ogr, and I get 27 attribute fields when I use
my 1997 edition MapInfo bundled IMUTGUI <br>
<br>
I don't have time to look into this right now, but if there is a
developer on this list that would like some sample data, please let me
know.<br>
I just feel that the current version, because it does create the output
files, could cause problems for a less nosey ( :-) ) user.<br>
<br>
Regards to all,<br>
