SPAM-LOW: [mapguide-users] RE: Am i on the Right Track?

[Andy Morsell]

That code was developed, in part, for a client and I do not have the
authority to give away the source code.   I can tell you the rough coding
steps:

-Grab the selection XML
-Query the original feature source using the feature ID's from the selection
XML using the FDO API
-Retrieve from the query results the key that makes sense to you and your
data
-Pass your key values to your external report
-Your external report then queries the pertinent database tables to produce
the final report

Andy,
  can you post the source code of the file.  novice programmers like us
cannot start coding directly. 

thanks
