Ian/Listers That's correct I only have a .MAP file. So was I wrong to assume that the .MAP file was from an ESRI product? and it is more likely to be MapInfo or Manifold file type? I take it I would have to pay for Manifold?
Im any case have received a database from my client which I can use to recreate the graphic data, thanks to all of you who responded.

If so, the .MAP file may be from another GIS - eg, Manifold System GIS. For example, as Bob Young describes, a normal MapInfo Pro fileset is TAB-DAT-MAP-ID. So you might have Australia.TAB, Australia.DAT, Australia.MAP, Australia.ID But if there was just a single Australia.MAP from the client, it's possibly in Manifold format (where everything is in one package).

Is there any way I can access the data in these files? If I can access MAP files do they have object data or are they just purely graphical data (i.e. polygons, lines, etc.)?
