Hi again, Thanks to all of you, I was able to successfully import the file utilizing a tool called “shape.mbx” which read the files immediately (Thanks Ross). Thanks for everyone’s prompt assistance!

I'm mainly concerned with the shape file, although none of them seem to work out. Here is what I have attempted so far: *Universal translator-received error message "Translation failed. See log for details." *Log tells me: Universal Translator (20010330 - Build 480a) Usage: imut <mappingFile> [<keyword> <value>]* Program Terminating Translation FAILED. Unable to generate mapping file. I'm sorry to say that I am not fully trained in MapInfo, so any help is very much appreciated. Thanks! Alicia Warren Prevent Child Abuse America 200 S.
