Thanks Lowell, I opened the .dbf file on Map Maker's database editor utility, and noticed the column name is all UPPERCASE, but I tried lowecase and lowercase with same results. NOMBREDEP and nombredep
If case is important to mapserver, I'll save it now with uppercase. I also tried to remove the quotes "" but same thing.
