#1477: ODBC dataconnection (MS Access) problem

 If I create an ODBC dataconnection (to an Access MDB) using DSN, in any
 version of Maestro (tried as far back as 1.0.9), it fails. This is the
 case for any mdb I've tested (more than 1).

 If I preview the dataconnection, I can view the data in tabular format,
 but trying to view the features from there always throws me an "argument
 is null" message in the preview window.

 Something is being saved incorrectly in the config doc, I suspect. If I do
 the '''exact''' same thing in Mapguide Studio, it works flawlessly.

 In my cases, it's a point layer that I'm ultimately after - so I'm
 selecting my columns and then expect a point class to be created. One
 possible clue as to what the problem may be is that in MG Studio, my
 dataconnection is Property Type "point". In Maestro, the same thing is
 listed as "point curve surface".

 It's completely reproducible (by me, anyway), so any additional
 information needed....I'll attach the configuration documents and xml for
 both - though MG Studio's config doc is pretty mangled.
