[Qgis-user] TAB file export

[Zoltan Szecsei]

Hi Brett,
If you can create MID/MIF, just open the mid file in a text editor and 
check that the number of lines is the same as the number of features in 
your shapefile.
If yes, then you should have all your elements.
Then simply convert the MID/MIF to TAB

It's a 2-step solution, but it should get the job done.

On the other post regarding the changing EPSG code, check the beginning 
of your MIF file to see if it is "wrong" there already (MIF is also a 
text file)
If so, it may be BUG-reporting time.

I am assuming that your shapefile has a PRJ file, or in QGIS you have 
set the correct projection/CRS

HTH,
Zoltan
