[mapguide-users] ODBC problems....MGOS 2.0

I have added the column stuff to MapStudio OS, but I have not yet built 
a new release.
If you have access to a Visual Studio 2003 (or newer) it should be no 
problem to build one yourself.
I am currently building an browser for unmanged resources, and I will 
release it after that.

Regards, Kenneth, GEOGRAF A/S
