Someone sent me a file of Petroleum permits, in MapInfo format, exported from a third party application.
There is obviously a bug in the application as the exported files were named permits..tab, permits..map, permits..id and permits..dat The error being two "dots" instead of one (to separate the table name and extension). When I try to open the file in MapInfo, it tells me that the table cannot be opened. So, in Explorer, I removed the second "dot" for each file listed above and tried again, but to no avail. I assume that the file name is referenced within the actual file ... my suspicion being the binary *.Map or *.Id tables (did not find anything in the *.Tab). Does anyone know how this can be fixed. Obviously, the third party application will have to be fixed, but is there a "hack procedure" I can implement to use the table tonight?
