[mapguide-users] SQL Server 2000 FDO

[George McLean]

Thanks for all the guidance Jason. I will take a look at the spatial 
support in SQL Server 2008 but I am not sure if my client is ready to 
update their SQL Server. My original problem was fixed by restarting 
mapguide service.

Thanks again,

George
