@DGraham Missing polygons are not related to the values of integer fields; it appears that the QGIS .mid exporter has multiple problems. I would have recommended ShapeFiles, too; are those missing digits from text or floating-point fields?

Load both into MapInfo and then rejoin on primary key. | |

| Sep 9, 2013 at 13:39 | comment | added | DGraham | Saving as a shapfile takes a digit of some of the values?! So reduces down codes from six to five! @Cl. | |
| Sep 9, 2013 at 13:35 | comment | added | Mark | @DGraham From QGIS can you save the file as ShapeFile and then open the Shape file in MapInfo? | |
| Sep 9, 2013 at 13:32 | comment | added | DGraham | I have changed these values, but now lose a number of the polygons? I had edited the files in qGIS, would this have caused he problem? @Cl. | |
