Query of point objects

[Stephen Lime]

Are you doing something funky in the interface? Queries, like map draws, are
sensitive to layer status. A layer is off by default and must be explictly turned
on to be queried or displayed (this applies to the CGI implementation only). In
the course of normal browsing this is usually taken care of. The demo interface
shows this: obviously you can't query anything that you can't see. However
once lakes or streams are on then you can query them.

Is there a public version that shows the problem?

     I have a file of point locations which I want the user to be able to
click on a point and view the database entry. This works fine if the layer
entry has the   STATUS DEFAULT  setting in the map file but I if change
STATUS to ON so I can control if the layer is shown or not it does not find
the point when I click on it.
   Am I missing something here or am I only able to query layers which are
set to be always on with the  STATUS DEFAULT  setting?

Thanks
