Hello Greg, Try to use the UNC path in the data tag DATA "\\server\path\myshapefile.shp"
This should work. Otherwise I think, their are problems with permissions.

Ugh! * Note that if I use a local (i.e., C:\...\...\) path for the data and in the MAP file it works just fine… Also, want to look at MrSIDs the same way, which again works just fine using a C:\ path… Note that I know enough about IIS to be dangerous! ☺ Thanks in advance for your help ---------- Regards, GREG COCKS GIS Analyst V [EMAIL PROTECTED] S.
