Dear listers,

I need to convert a SHP file in a TAB file with attributes stored in  
Access table instead on .dat file. In fact the application which will 
read the file can accept only this specific format.

Just to clarify my question please note the different "Definition 
Table" section I'm referring to.

---- standard NATIVE format ------
Definition Table 
Type NATIVE Charset "WindowsLatin1" 
Fields ...

with this type file, the attribute are stored in a .DAT file
---- standard NATIVE format END --

-------- ACCESS 1 ---------------
Definition Table
  File "microaree.mdb"
  Type ACCESS TABLE "Tabella_microaree" Charset "WindowsLatin1"
  Fields ...

this type file allow to specify the .mdb file name and the table name 
which can be different 
-------- ACCESS 1 END -----------

-------- ACCESS 2 ---------------
Definition Table
  Type ACCESS TABLE "microaree_access" Charset "WindowsLatin1"
  Fields ...

this type file suppose the .mdb file name and the table name are the 
same
-------- ACCESS 2 END -----------

At the beginning I supposed it was an easy task. Whith an editor I 
changed the .tab file and created a .mdb table whit the data in the 
exact order of the .dat file. Obviously didn't work. Does the .map 
file conserve something of the data structure? 

Anyway, what I need is exactly the ACCESS 2 type. 

Could anyone helps me  in defining the process to produce this kind 
of format?
 
Thanks in advance.

Cesidio
