Hi Peter,
I have tried that originally - so I use ows.mundialis.de/osm/service
That find the server and the layers. But when I click to add it to the map I get the error message indicated.
The URL I posted was just to show I get a response from the service when I request getcapabilities.
I have tried the URL on its own and with some extra parameters but I don't get the map.
If you have any other ideas then that would be great.

Hey Martin
Try the URL without the Request parameter.
MapInfo Pro adds this parameter automatically and sometimes having it in the initial server URL results in weird errors.

Hi Everyone,
I am trying to open this web service:-
ows.mundialis.de/osm/service?service=wms&request=GetCapabilities
And while MapInfo recognises the service and can retrieve the name and the layers - it will not display the map. In MapInfo 15 (the version I want to use) I get the following error message:-
It gives the same message in the 64 bit versions of MapInfo pro as well.
This service opens with no issue in QGIS so I know it is working.
If anyone has any insight into what the issue could be then that would be good to hear.
Many thanks
