I have a problem with an apparently corrupt Mapinfo File. There are 2 screenshots below. One showing an working one and the other one is showing the corrupt one. The polygons and geoms are still visible but the TOURKEY attribute is missing.

Is there a possibility to verify and batch repair the files?

An interesting point is, that in QGIS I can still read the Tourkey as an attribute of each polygon, which has to be stored in the TAB file, whereas the TOURKEY row in the MapInfo software is read from the DAT file.

Here is the link to the 2 tab files for anyone willing to analyze it:

Thanks!

Just to clarify the TAB file doesn't store any data, it is just a pointer to the data which in most cases is the DAT file. QGIS (ogr) and MapInfo both use the DAT (and MAP) file to read the data. – Nathan W May 24 '12 at 13:28
You are right - may fault. My structure makes no sense ;) – Martin May 24 '12 at 13:33

I have tried to open your files in MapInfo 11.0.3 and they seem to be ok - both tables have column TOURKEY with some data (not zero). – Alex Markov May 24 '12 at 14:04
