Thanks Lowell,
I opened the .dbf file on Map Maker's database editor utility, and noticed
the column name is all UPPERCASE, but I tried lowecase and lowercase with
same results.
NOMBREDEP and nombredep
If case is important to mapserver, I'll save it now with uppercase.
I also tried to remove the quotes "" but same thing.
Thanks again for your help.

Alejandro,
Double check capitalization of the item name.
