Hi Franz
Do you have TOLERANCE set in your map file for the point layer? Also, the newer version of MapServer requires the template to have the first line be:
<!-- MapServer Template -->
Let us know if this helps.

Hi all,
I have succeeded in implementing your code on a polygon data set but with point data I think there is probably an issue. There seem to be a fundamental problem that I am not aware of. I have checked and rechecked the templates, the mapfile and as for the code its the same. There is something probably funny with the querybypoint as opposed to querybyshape? Any idea Len (its kinda your brain child?)?
Franz
