The best solution then is to do SHP as well as or better than ESRI directly? But then again I don't really understand what a "geodatabase" fully is. SHP files have their own headaches. How well can a geodatabase be deconvoluted; is this a one to many SHP files solution?
My personal experiences in the translation from SHP to TAB have been successful but not without frustration. Never really know the SHP file's projection and datum. A second gripe, the imported result does not seem to have been passed its complete metadata: line types do not match nor color nor fill. My essential skill is for 7.5 and earlier. I understand that SHP formatted content is better handled in 8.0 as the newest translator now accesses an ArcGIS PRG(?) file that contains projection, datum as well as other metadata?

Don't know if this is what you are looking for but you can convert the Geodatabase to a shapefile and then read the shapefile in MapInfo.

Anyone know if it is possible to convert an ArcGIS GeoDatabase (.mdb) to open up in MapInfo? --------------------------------------------------------------------- List hosting provided by Directions Magazine | www.directionsmag.com | To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Message number: 18244
