	Hello everyone,

	Thanks to Stephen Lime and Daniel Morisette for outlining a strategy
for integrating attribute data from RDBMS  SQL  queries. I have now followed
these suggestions and am able to generate temporary .shp, .shx and.dbf
files. I am using using a third party utility to do the conversion of
database result sets to .dbf format under NT with Visual Basic.

	However, all I get is a big white square with MapServer.  URL link
is fine and extent settings seem to be okay. Tried using the sortshp utility
to order by a field but it did not help. When I tried to query the shape
file in ArcExplorer 1.1, I got an invalid array index message. Any thoughts
on how I can try to debug the problem. 

	Thanks,
