JC It sounds horribly like you have an ArcGIS Geodatabase. What ArcGIS (or ArcInfo/ArcView 8.0) allows you to do is store geometry in databases either as a enterprise geodatabase (i.e. in something like SQL server/Oracle/DB2) or as a personal geodatabase which uses the Access 2000 format.
I would guess the only way you could do it would be to pass it back to the supplier and ask them to export the data as a shape file. Or you could go and have a look at www.safe.com <http://www.safe.com> and a product called FME (which is the basis for the universal translator in MapInfo) and see if that will do the trick (there is a 30 day free download eval copy on the website which may well be useful).

The arcinfo file is in an .mdb format. Access doesn't open the table. I was wondering if it is possible to open this file directly into MI. All help is gratefully received. Kind regards.
