Milena, I confirm yours comment about write file in format TAB.
I read the source and i believe has a procedure inconsistent in file: http://trac.osgeo.org/qgis/browser/trunk/qgis/src/core/qgsvectorfilewriter.cpp I would like that Tim could see the method QgsVectorFileWriter::driverMetadata(Line 895): else if ( driverName.startsWith( "MapInfo File" ) ) { longName = "Mapinfo File"; trLongName = QObject::tr( "Mapinfo File" ); glob = "*.mif *.tab"; ext = "mif" ; } This method set the ext(extension) equal "mif". In method QgsVectorFileWriter::QgsVectorFileWriter in line 134: if ( QgsVectorFileWriter::driverMetadata( driverName, longName, trLongName, glob, ext ) ) { if ( !vectorFileName.endsWith( "." + ext, Qt::CaseInsensitive ) ) { vectorFileName += "." + ext; } } We can see that extension is "mif" (always), then, the output format is the MIF. You can open the ticket about this. Regards, Luiz I read the 2011/3/16 Milena Nowotarska <do.mile...@gmail.com>: > Hi, > > In QGIS we were able to save a vector layer as MapInfo tab.
