Maybe another solution would be to export the data to MIF/MID and then reimport in a Windowsbased MapInfo ?

I've never heard of a "Pro v 4.5 for Mac" either. The problem the professor's experiencing may be connected to the reversed byte order used by Mac and PC. And since a native MapInfo dataset is mixed ascii and binary, that would most likely yield problems. I can't say which type of file is the problem. I believe the solution is to transform the Mac files to PC using a standard "Mac-in-Windows" or "Mac-to-Windows converter" software. Best regards / Med venlig hilsen Lars V.
