Hi Brett,
I do this sort of thing regularly (shapefiles -> MID/MIF, though) so I'm
surprised at the issues you are having.
Please post the ogr2ogr command-line you are using, and, if ok, maybe a
sample of the shapefile.
Have you tried saving as another format? That may tell you if your
shapefile is the problem.
Regards,
Zoltan

Thanks Ross.
Downloaded ogr2ogr. Program ran, created TAB files but they were
empty. Does that mean there is a problem with the SHP file?
Read through the other web sites couldn't see anything obvious, which
it would need to be for me to figure it out.
No matter, might hold out for 2.4. Should update at some stage I guess.
Thanks Again

Hi Brett
Can you convert the shapefile to mapinfo (TAB or MIF/MID?) on the
command line with ogr2ogr?
Can you upgrade to QGIS 2.2 or wait a couple of weeks for 2.4? It
uses a new version of GDAL/OGR.
Have you checked http://www.gdal.org/drv_mitab.html for possible error
sources? And see
http://osgeo-org.1560.x6.nabble.com/gdal-dev-Unable-to-create-MApInfo-tab-File-td5095559.html
for the same error but no solution :-(
