Hi, Because it's a .tab file there could be a number of options. Native Mapinfo tab files will open, but: 1. if there is more than one geometry then only one will will be displayed by QGIS (e.g. a file might contain lines and points, but QGIS only displays the points). 2. For some Coordinate systems (projections) there is are a few problems assigning the correct coordinate system in QGIS automatically. If the .tab file is a link to another data source (e.g. an xls spreadsheet or a jpg image) then QGIS will say that this is not a valid data source - because it's expecting a native tab file. However if you load the linked data correctly, e.g. the jpg through load raster, then you should be fine. Make any sense? -ramon. _______________________________________________ Qgis-user mailing list Qgis-user@lists.osgeo.org http://lists.osgeo.org/mailman/listinfo/qgis-user
