color=#0000ff size=2>I like the overall functionality and think that it will be
very useful. One thing to watch out for, however, is graphically
displaying the extents of a large feature source. This is not always
desirable since it can cause a strain on MGOS server and take excessively long
to return the map view. The same problem already exists in Studio when you
view a default layer definition in split or preview mode (one of the reasons I
would like to have the ability in Studio to specify that my default view is
always Edit mode). So, perhaps you could query the feature source to
determine the number of features and then tell the user "This feature
source is very large, are you sure you want to preview
it?"</FONT></SPAN></DIV>
