Hi Mohamad,

TAB files can be opened by MapServer (using an OGRCONNECTION).  I find that converting them to ESRI Shapefiles performs better than using native TAB files.  Have a look at the documentation for opening TAB files at http://www.mapserver.org/input/vector/mapinfo.html

Cheers Ian

HI,

What about TAB files, how can we convert them to MAP files?

Cheers
