Hi Rob You may use the checkbox 'keep layer list' of the composer map widgets for this: -Load all the data into QGIS - Set the layers for map1 visible, go to the composer, add the first composer map and check 'keep layer list' - Go back to the main map, set the layers for map2 visible and all others visible. The layers in composermap 1 will remain as long as they are in the layer list - Go to the composer and add the second composer map. The second map will now show layer set 2 while the first one keeps its layers.
Hope it works, Marco Am Freitag, 23. Oktober 2009 19.03:32 schrieb InterRob: > Forgot to attach the image.
