I am having difficulties getting MapInfo tab files working with my setup
of Mapserver/MapLab.

I have set up the map using MapEdit and got the following error when I
tried to open the map in MapBrowser.

Error Parsing DundasSub.map	 

Description	
Open failed for OGR connection `DundasHome.TAB'. File not found or
unsupported format. in /maplab/common/wrapper/drawmap.php	

Failed to draw layer named 'DundasHomeTab'. in
/maplab/common/wrapper/drawmap.php

In MapEdit I set the following parameters

Data - left blank
Type - polygon
Connection Type - OGR
Connection - DundasHome.TAB

The map has 3 other files, two shape files and 1 ecw file which worked
correctly until the tab file was added.

I installed MapLab (2.1RC3) using ms4w

Thanks

Stephen Wallace
