No... In the connection part as I wanted to avoid writing a text file  
and then referencing it in the mapfile. This is a layer that is  
working as anticipated - the SQL part is only 927 characters. (I  
realise I probably should have included this before - the SQL is  
gross, but returns just the resultvalue, lat and long.)

I will try the steps you have outlined above - it's fairly torturous  
process to get things changed on the client server, so it might take  
some time, I will keep you updated.
