- The WMS Server does not return GetFeatureInfo data in a format supported by MapInfo Pro.
- There are no layers that you can query in the WMS table for the GetFeatureInfo request
- The WMS Server returned data in <requested-format> format rather than the requested format of <requested-format>
- Unable to retrieve feature information from the WMS Server.

Some messages have two parts separated by a colon. The information up to the colon is generated by the MapInfo WMS client. The information following the colon comes directly from the WMS server. For clarification on WMS server messages, contact the service provider of the server.
