Hello all, I'VE BEEN SAVED. THANK YOU. THANK YOU. Thanks very much to many, but in particular mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]. The solution was simple... In MapInfo: File> Open Table Select dBase dbf (*.dbf) in the File type field Enter *.dat in the File Name field and press Return Select and open the .dat file with the missing .tab Select the US & W. Europe character set ... and theres your data. MapInfo creates the .TAB automatically for you. I then went into Table>Maintenance>Table Structure and changed the field types as some numeric type fields came through as character type. I also did a Save Copy As and reindexed it. Thank you again.
