<P><FONT SIZE=2>Hi Mohamad,<BR>
<BR>
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 <A HREF="http://www.mapserver.org/input/vector/mapinfo.html">http://www.mapserver.org/input/vector/mapinfo.html</A><BR>
<BR>
Cheers Ian<BR>
