Hi, sounds to me like you are hitting the 4kilobyte limit per row of data in mapinfo ... your 16 fields would be fields with 254 characters in them would they?

After removing superfluous fields (so we have 16 fields or less) it works perfectly. Here is the error returned in the log file: "MapInfo file 'C:\GO\Polygons.tab' could not be opened. Check that file path name is valid. Also check for adequate disk space. Program Terminating Translation FAILED." Any Ideas? _______________________________ Do you Yahoo!?
