No dice eh ?, I have alittle more information in case it sheds some light on whats going on.
I have set up the seamless table using mapinfo pro's seamless manager tool, specifying full path. I noticed that if I do an ogrinfo on my table it works fine C:\Tomcat5\webapps\rmxnyf\mapbase>ogrinfo test.tab Had to open data source read-only. INFO: Open of `test.tab' using driver `MapInfo File' successful. 1: Area_Mosaic (Line String) However when i specify the full path of the tab file I get an error C:\Tomcat5\webapps\rmxnyf\mapbase>ogrinfo C:\Tomcat5\webapps\rmxnyf\mapbase\test .TAB FAILURE: Unable to open datasource `C:\Tomcat5\webapps\rmxnyf\mapbase\test.TAB' with the following drivers. -> OCI -> ESRI Shapefile -> MapInfo File -> UK .NTF -> SDTS -> TIGER -> S57 -> DGN -> VRT -> AVCBin -> REC -> Memory -> CSV -> GML -> ODBC -> PGeo -> PostgreSQL -> MySQL When I do this test on a normal (non seamless) tab file ogrinfo works fine regardless of whether or not I specify the full name. Is this a clue as to where it's all going wrong ?. mikiet wrote: > > Hi all, > > I have a seamless mapinfo table that points to several mapinfo tab files > containing vector data.
