Hello List,

I tried to use ogr2ogr to convert a "Personal GeoDatabase" format from
the USGS NHD dataset.

ogr2ogr -f "ESRI Shapefile" [output dir] [data].mdb

But the conversion seemed ignore the geometry.

In MS Access, I can clearly see a that the table in question has a
binary column, called Shape, and access displays the phrase "Long
Binary Data"

But the output shapefile only has attributes, and no geometry.

Has anybody run into this problem before?
