Hey Ben, thanks for the quick reply. This is a piece of the geometry:
"MULTIPOLYGON(((-203203.329774775 921205.762417328,-201414.754122524 920564.899066353,….etc etc etc ……..,-263950.345631436 1215368.70793936,-263772.821121782 1216068.78335908,-263784.403196605 1216749.98205891,-263958.177279213 1216452.48684392)))" These are the values when I query AsText from the original data, and it represents a piece of norway. Does this mean anything to you? I will try the 32630 and get back to you. Ben Madin-3 wrote: > > Ramses, > > On 06/07/2010, at 17:37 , rdelisabeth wrote: > >> My problem is the following.
