Goodmorning,

First sorry for the email i sended to the wrong email address, thanks goto Ted for forwarding it to the right address.

I don't know if this list is also ment for thanks replies, but wanted to thank Searle and Paul for the clear answers.

I've just looked into the mapscript documentation and it seem relative easy, so im gonna try it!

Yes. You might find one way to do this is to use PostGIS to store the
point layer. Jeff is actually putting together a little
Mapserver/PostGIS app right now to do exactly this. All the background
layers are shape files, but the point layer is a db layer, so it is very
easy to add new points to it and edit it. Needless to say, mapscript
coding is definately required. You could also do this using a shape file
to store the points, but could have file integrity problems if you were
ever unlucky enough to get two concurrent edits of the file.
