It is not possible to open the StreetPro Extended TAB files in 32-bit version of MapInfo Pro.

Users who are still migrating from legacy MapInfo Pro 32-bit software to 64-bit will need to obtain a copy of the 64-bit version of MapInfo Pro in order to convert Extended TAB files to 32-bit Native TAB files.

To convert the StreetPro Extended TAB files to Native Tab files:

  1. Launch the 64-bit version of MapInfo Pro but do not open any data files.
  2. Click Pro>Options>System Settings.
  3. In the lower right corner, make sure New Tables>Format is set to MapInfo not MapInfo Extended. Leave the Unicode setting at UTF-16 since saving a copy in regular *.TAB format should default to the correct character set.
  4. After the settings have been made, restart MapInfo Pro to save changes.
  5. Open the Extended TAB file to be converted to Native TAB in this 64-bit version of MapInfo Pro.
  6. Click Home > Save
    Note: Before saving, make sure to select the proper file type in the Save Copy as dialog. Select Save as and type MapInfo (*.tab) not MapInfo Extended (*.tab).
  7. Open this newly saved *.TAB file in change text editor and make the edits shown below.
    1. Change the version number of the file from 1520 to 450 and save the change.
    2. Change the character set value from UTF-8 to the appropriate character set for the country.
    3. Change the Type
    4. Save changes and close the text editor.
  8. Open the newly edited copy in a 32-bit version of MapInfo Pro
