Importing mif files into MapPoint

I want to import a MapInfo file that is comprised of polylines that represent cable routes into MapPoint. I have exported the file as a mif file. Is there any way to import this file into MapPoint?

There is. First try the Spatial Data Importer developer sample
code, see: http://www.mp2kmag.com/news.asp?NewsID=%09%0920

If this doesn't work for your data and re-working the sample code (VB6) is too difficult, there are some commercial offerings such as Safe software's FME translator which may do the trick, see:

If the the file your trying to import is an MapInfo ASCII Datapoints file you can import it using Coordinate Exchange ( http://www.hypercubed.com/projects/coordex/ ). If you can't find an application that meets your needs try posting a sample of the data file.

Right now CoordEx only imports the MapInfo ASCII Data points files. I could probably add it without too much trouble but I'm sure the Spatial Data Importer will work.
