Hamish,
I've struck this with MapExtreme too, but in may case, the layers that I
used in the geoset were located on a network drive. It seems as though you
may have the same problem. What happen with me is that MapExtreme or should
I say the web server can only access local drives unless you use a suitable
network client (in my case Microsoft Client for Novell NOT the Novell
Client). Thus the calls to MapExtreme via ASP cannot open the tables
because the web server cannot see the files, hence it works using MS Access
to call MapExtreme because you are bypassing the Web Server.
Confused ?

Subject: MI MapXtreme problem loading geoset
Hello All,
I'm having trouble loading a geoset in MapXtreme. The geoset can be quite
happily loaded using the geoset manager on the server but seems to stall
when I try to load it through ASP. The geoset has approx 50 layers which
makes we wonder if the object within VB script has some kind of limitation.
To illustrate the problem I've stripped out all the ASP library stuff...
<%@ Language=VBScript %>
<%
Dim oMap
Dim oSess
Set oMap = server.createobject("MapInfo.MapXcourier")
Set oSess = oMap.GetMapXFromNewServer("E:\Program
Files\MapInfo\MapXtreme\Maps\testmoss1.gst")
'COMMENT Set oSess = oMap.GetMapXFromNewServer("E:\Program
Files\MapInfo\MapXtreme\Maps\newmoss.gst")
oSess.setsize 1200, 1200
oSess.ExportMap
"E:\Inetpub\wwwroot\MossMap_Dev\MarketingMap\mapimage\hamish.gif", 2
Set oSess = Nothing
Set oMap = Nothing
%>
<HTML>
<HEAD></head>
<INPUT TYPE="image" NAME="imgMap"
SRC="http://mosssql/mossmap_dev/mapimage/hamish.gif" BORDER=0>
</html>
when debugging the ASP , the program seems to hang on the
GetMapXFromNewServer for up to a minute then returns oSess as
Nothing.(newmoss.gst is a test geoset with a just 5 layers or so as a test
which works) (I've extended script timeout and session timeout to 10 mins
so
it's not the script timing out)
The same code as a test in Access '97 on the server loads the geoset
fine.....
Sub testmapper()
Dim oMap
Dim oSess
Set oMap = CreateObject("MapInfo.MapXcourier")
Set oSess = oMap.GetMapXFromNewServer("E:\Program
Files\MapInfo\MapXtreme\Maps\testmoss1.gst")
oSess.setsize 1200, 1200
oSess.ExportMap "E:\Inetpub\wwwroot\MossMap_Dev\mapimage\hamish.GIF", 2
Set oSess = Nothing
Set oMap = Nothing
End Sub
Server is running IIS4
Can anyone tell me where to go next. I suppose in theory I could do all the
map generation in a VB dll as a wrapper to MapX but I don't see why should
'reinvent the wheel'.
I'm no IIS or ASP expert so any advice would be gratefully reveived
Hamish
