VBScript can be either client-side or server-side. In my case, all of my
code is server-side.

>>Kori,
>>I don't think you have to know the column order. In my case I am getting to it directly by field name. I am creating the filter, query options and feature reader the same way, though. Also, my MgPropertyType is hardcoded here. Your way of determining it from the field is better.

>>My biggest problem with these solutions is that the non-programmer types are not going to be able to easily do this. We really need a way to easily pass ANY field in a given layer from a selection set client-side.
