Will, if you give each record in your tabfile a unique Id that you can use as a file name (ie name each item Site1,Site2, Site3 etc) then you could use the qik_Subset tool on the directionsmag site. This tool subsets a file on te basis of field content, so separate files for each record shouldnt be a problem. The version on the site has the unfortunate habit of appending "Subset" to the filetitle, but if you want your files to just be called SITE1.tab etc then email me direct and i'll post you a version that only uses teh field code for the file name..

So if you have one file - a layer of 50 regions and you need a separate TAB file per region, would want to automatically 'save copy as.' for each record and name each new file based on an attribute field. Thanks in advance.
