I found that it defaults to making ArcServer applications read/write, even if you don’t want them to be. I will never want ArcServer maps to do any more than pass read-only data to a user through a query. <o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>The problem I have with ArcServer is that it demands VPN access because of the permissions it grants users [I believe]. ArcIMS didn’t have that problem: I don’t remember seeing this in earlier versions of ArcServer. I don’t know if it’s possible to make a map public unless I move the server out of the Core, outside the firewall. <o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>Now I’m trying to determine if ESRI still supports ArcIMS and if I can run it on the same server. <o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>I’ve had problem with ESRI tech support on ArcServer. They don’t seem to know this application very well. <o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>I copied all the GIS data I commonly use to the Mapserver on a drive lettered the same as data on my Desktop. <o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>I still had to register all of the data when I made a map: It wouldn’t simply look for it on the server, find it and use it. I called tech support and explained the problem. Now I realize his solution [registering the data on my desktop] means the server now reads the data from my desktop – defeating the purpose - copying data to the server. The tech clearly did not understand my goal after I explained it. I have run into that a lot with ArcServer, but rarely on any ESRI problems before ArcServer. I was impressed with their techies in the past. <o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Arial","sans-serif";color:black'> <o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Arial","sans-serif";color:black'><o:p> </o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:8.0pt;color:black'>William B.
