[mapguide-users] External SHP file Refresh?

[GordonL]

Thanks Dave,
that is true, the SHP does appear when refreshing within Studio Preview
window, but it is still not available to the code.  I wonder if there is a
SESSION based version of a Data Preview "refresh" so that I can see the new
shp file in the Alias folder...
