[Qgis-user] TAB file export

[Brett Adams]

Thanks Ross.

 

Downloaded ogr2ogr.  Program ran, created TAB files but they were empty.
Does that mean there is a problem with the SHP file?

 

Read through the other web sites couldn't see anything obvious, which it
would need to be for me to figure it out.

 

No matter,  might hold out for 2.4.  Should update at some stage I guess.

 

Thanks Again

Hi Brett

Can you convert the shapefile to mapinfo (TAB or MIF/MID?) on the command
line with ogr2ogr?

Can you upgrade to QGIS 2.2 or wait a couple of weeks for 2.4?  It uses a
new version of GDAL/OGR.

Have you checked http://www.gdal.org/drv_mitab.html for possible error
sources?  And see
http://osgeo-org.1560.x6.nabble.com/gdal-dev-Unable-to-create-MApInfo-tab-Fi
le-td5095559.html for the same error but no solution :-(

SHP file contains attributed points.

Attempted procedure is
