[Qgis-user] unable to open the QGIS Tab

[Nicolas Cadieux]

Hi, 
Unlike most file formats, a .tab file is actually 4 files with 4 different extensions (see below).  They must all be copied at the same place in the computer (same directory) if you want to open the .tab. 
Make sure you have all 4 files.  If all you have is the .tab, nothing will work.  Could this be the problem? 
http://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/MapInfo_TAB_format 
"So the basic file set for viewing data and its graphic representation in vector form within MapInfo Professional requires a minimum of four files, normally the *.TAB, *.MAP, *.DAT and *.ID. If there is only textual information with no graphic objects, then a minimum of two files is needed: *.TAB and *.DAT."

Hi,
maybe your tab-file is corrupted? Does your other tab-files work properly? As workaround you could use Universal Translator in MapInfo and convert MapInfo Tab to Esri Shape (for example). Try opening this in QGIS.
Hope it helps!

Well to be more clear, use the following links to download a newer version:
Standalone Installer
http://qgis.org/downloads/QGIS-OSGeo4W-2.4.0-1-Setup-x86.exe OR OSGeo4w Installer
http://download.osgeo.org/osgeo4w/osgeo4w-setup-x86.exe When in doubt always go to http://qgis.org  for your downloads.
Thanks,
Alex
