Alex, Longer explanation of current installation (sorry!).
We have used EPSG:200068 as our local custom code for years. It's defined in our WMS http://gis.ci.stpaul.mn.us/datasets/WMS/SAINT_PAUL/PUBLIC_WORKS/WMS/wms_public.map?REQUEST=GetCapabilities&Version=3.1.0&SERVICE=WMS , which is what I'm currently trying to load into QGIS (and OpenLayers) as a data source, it hooks up fine, but I can't seem to get it to set the prj coordinate system to 200068 in QGIS as the default. All our records revolve around this coordinate system so it's pretty much a must have setup. Last time I worked with QGIS, I simply added it to the PROJ file as an extra line, that doesn't seem to work anymore. As an aside, I have sent in a registration request to the PROJ project in the past, but never got a reply. We didn't come up with this code on our own either; it's been listed as such from the State of Minnesota here: http://lists.osgeo.org/pipermail/tcmug/2006-February/000143.html (I.E. 100068 different first digit) Anyway, need to figure this out for someone else using QGIS . . . Thanks for the help.
