When you import a raster file in MapInfo, a table is created (a file 
ending with *.tab). This file can be opened with a text editor, for 
instance Wordpad or note pad in Window. 

Here is how things may look, with the coordinates of your control points 
appearing after the Type "RASTER" command   : 

!table
!version 300
!charset WindowsLatin1

Definition Table
  File "condeminesplan.jpg"
  Type "RASTER"
  (900,400) (180,63) Label "Pt 1",
  (1100,400) (226,63) Label "Pt 2",
  (1100,600) (226,104) Label "Pt 3",
  (900,600) (180,104) Label "Pt 4"
  CoordSys NonEarth Units "cm"
  Units "cm"

Apparently there is something wrong with your coordinates, since MapInfo 
thinks they are building a line. If you are sure that your points are 
correct, check the units and the system of coordinates in use, both for 
the TIF file, the map and the map preference for new files. If you do 
still have your original tif file and if you have a quick way to 
determinate your coordinates, it's not a big thing to recreate the table 
containing the definition for the raster table.

        Objet : MI-L Problem opening a .tiff file


 Can anyone assist with a small problem? Whenever I try to open a .tif 
file,
and associated .tab file. MapInfo says, 'The image control points cannot 
be
in a straight line'.
I know that the files were created using MapInfo, how can I get to view 
this
information again using MapInfo?

Regards

Nige. . . . .
