Craig,

Looking in the PGEO driver code, it selects the ShapeType
from the GDB_GeomColumns table, and tries to set the
layer geometry type based on that.  It maps POINT
to wkbPoint, ARC to wkbLineString, MULTIPOINT to
wkbMultiPoint but POLYGON is just mapped to
wkbGeometry since I can't know if it includes polygons
and multipolygons.

Could you supply me with a personal geodatabase with mixed
types?

Best regards,
