Are you getting an error message? Are you specifically calling the layer by name in the URL or post request, or have you tried setting STATUS to DEFAULT? David. -----Original Message----- From: UMN MapServer Users List [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Kevin Flanders Sent: Wednesday, April 18, 2007 12:41 PM To: [email protected] Subject: [UMN_MAPSERVER-USERS] Virtual Tables I would like to map a virtual table, and I am told I can do it without declaring an ODBC.using the following mapfile layer definition: LAYER NAME "Fire Data" GROUP "Fire Data" STATUS on TYPE point CONNECTIONTYPE OGR CONNECTION "<OGRVRTDataSource> <OGRVRTLayer name='firegis'> <SrcLayer>mapsonline.csv</SrcLayer> <GeometryField encoding='PointFromColumns' x='XCOORD' y='YCOORD'/> <GeometryType>wkbPoint</GeometryType> </OGRVRTLayer> </OGRVRTDataSource>" TEMPLATE "ttt" TOLERANCE 4 CLASS NAME "Fire Data" SYMBOL "circle" OUTLINECOLOR 80 80 80 COLOR 219 0 0 SIZE 12 END END But this fails. Do I need an ODBC..or is it true I can access a text file directly in this manner. The data is being placed with all my other shapefiles (ie. in the same folder). Also, can the .csv file just as easily be a .txt file..and can the entries have quotations around them? Kevin
