Ok, I'm assuming you're pulling the airport data out of the DB. I used a shapefile but the properties should be set the same in the Mapscript. The "LABELITEM" property is the "column name". One thing you may want to do is use a dot with a ring for symbols. It makes it easy to see the symbol on top of any color. Light ring around dark dot or dark ring around a light dot. Example : http://www.freeimagelibrary.com/images/Surge/map1.png LAYER NAME "Airports" DATA "Airports" STATUS OFF TYPE POINT UNITS DD LABELMAXSCALE 10000000 LABELITEM "NAME" TOLERANCE 3 CLASS NAME "Airports" STYLE SYMBOL "cities-symbol" COLOR 100 120 255 OUTLINECOLOR 255 255 255 END LABEL COLOR 0 0 0 OUTLINECOLOR 255 255 255 TYPE BITMAP SIZE MEDIUM ANTIALIAS TRUE POSITION UR PARTIALS FALSE MINDISTANCE 300 BUFFER 4 END END END Paul ------------------------------------------------------- Using Tomcat but need to do more?
