[Qgis-user] TAB file export

[Zoltan Szecsei]

Hi Brett,
I do this sort of thing regularly (shapefiles -> MID/MIF, though) so I'm 
surprised at the issues you are having.
Please post the ogr2ogr command-line you are using, and, if ok, maybe a 
sample of the shapefile.

Have you tried saving as another format? That may tell you if your 
shapefile is the problem.
Regards,
Zoltan
