Hi, I have GDAL 1.3.1.0 and have eventually managed to open the geodatabase (via 'PGeo' driver?!) But how then do you put this into a Mapfile (CONNECTION TYPE PGeo ... and then the name of the file and continue as per a shapefile?) I'm afraid i'm a bit of new to this and have only worked with shapefiles to date - but need to branch out ! Thanks for your help. Steve.
