Ok, that's way beyond BOM issues! I can't say I've ever seen anything like this happen with NPP - it looks as though a binary file has been copied over the original WOR, though not any of the standard MI Tab component files. ------------------------------ Andrew Harfoot GeoData University of Southampton ...

As far as I'm aware NPP shouldn't add (or remove) a BOM unless this is requested by the user, ie the encoding of a file that already exists is preserved. New files created in NPP default to UTF-8 without BOM, but this can be adjusted in the settings. What is the nature of the corruption Martin? How ...

How about registering the Excel file to generate a TAB file, and then programmatically modifying the TAB file so that all the column definitions are set to Char? ------------------------------ Andrew Harfoot GeoData University of Southampton ------------------------------

Hi Krishna, The open source GDAL toolkit can do this, specifically you would use the ogr2ogr command to translate the TAB file into a CSV file, encoding the geometry as WKT. The command line would be something like: ogr2ogr -f "CSV" -lco GEOMETRY=WKT MyWKT.csv MyTabFile.tab​ ------------- ...

Possibly to cover the UK Continental Shelf extent? ------------------------------ Andrew Harfoot GeoData University of Southampton ------------------------------

Geopackage and TAB are the obvious formats as both have read / write support in MapInfo and QGIS. Ive just done a quick test of a full table redraw (zoomed to full extent so not using the spatial index), with Enhanced rendering (MI), Feature simplification and anti-aliasing (QGIS) disabled to create ...

Will these be recorded and made available subsequently?
