I am having a difficult time working with ArcGIS. My files are in TAB format. In ArcGIS I use the QuickImport tool. I am able to select the input file, but it does not let me click on "OK". Any hints on that? I have checked this thread: How do I convert MapInfo TAB and/or MIF to SHP? but I could not find a similar problem. Thanks in advance. Leonardo

Are you sure you have the right license extension to use this tool? you know the data interoperability tool should installed separately. – Aragon May 4 '12 at 15:41
You could always convert to a more Arc friendly format (.shp) using OGR as suggested in the link you posted, if it is urgent and you can't figure out a faster solution. – Zero Qualms May 5 '12 at 20:25

You should either use Arcmap WITH the data interoperability extension, FME Suite, Autodesk Map3D, or MapInfo to convert these files.
