[Qgis-user] Problem with QGIS 2.14.1 and MapInfo 12.0.3 coexistence and sharing the same data

[Claus Sørensen]

Hi everybody

I have encountered a problem with QGIS and MapInfo coexistence.
I have no problems opening the same MapInfo tab file (native mapinfo 7.8
format) from 2 pc's running either QGIS 2.14.1 or Mapinfo 12.0.3. at the
same time.

BUT
If I style the Mapinfo layer in QGIS 2.14.1, categorized from values in a
column, then MapInfo cannot open the table, or using the info button in an
already opened table and sends an error :
Translated from Danish is says: Cannot acces the xxx.DAT for reading. Check
that the file is not opened from another program.

Closing QGIS I can again access the file from Mapinfo.

Anybody has a workaround from that!

It makes sharing the same data impossible between QGIS 2.14.1 and MapInfo
users.

NB! No such problems with QGIS 2.8.5 and MapInfo 12.0.3

Tecnical details
PC1 Win8.1 64bit, QGIS 2.14.1 64bit,  MapInfo 12.0.3 32bit
PC2 ditto
PC3 Win7 32bit - QGIS 2.8.5 32 bit, MapInfo 12.0.3 32bit
