Hello all,
 
I am using OGR and trying to automatically style features created 
from MapInfo Tables. The STYLE "AUTO" function works fine, but 
the resulting features appear black. I
tried saving the MapInfo tables with 'style overidden' features 
(which when reloaded in MapInfo display the saved style), but 
still no joy. I realise that OGR is still
experimental, but in the HOW TO, I read that it should be 
possible to do this. Part of my map file looks like this (I do 
not think I am doing anything wrong here):
 
LAYER
    NAME "Contours_tab"
    TYPE LINE
    STATUS OFF
    CONNECTIONTYPE OGR
    CONNECTION 
"C:\Inetpub/wwwroot/Robert_Brown_MScDiss/GI/mapserv/gower/Contour
sbounce.tab"
    STYLEITEM "AUTO"
    CLASSITEM "Height"
    CLASS
      NAME "5m Contours (OGR)"
    END
END
 
 
Could the answer lie in either the version of MapInfo or 
MapServer (I am using the 3.5 nightly build with OGR support). Or 
perhaps it could be something to do with the way
in which I am saving the MapInfo table? 
 
I would be grateful for any suggestions - I am really stuck after 
spending several hours trying to figure this out.
 
Thanks for your help
