Hi Nick
You were right. I loaded another layer and zoomed to the area covered by the WMS before adding it. I could then see the data I wanted and, as expected, got the 'No overlay dataset available' warning with I zoomed out far enough.
Thanks
Chris

Chris,
Seems to be a zoom layering setting somewhere (probably at the Cadcorp end) if you zoom in enough in Pro you do get the data. I would attach a screenshot but the page won't let me
Regards,
Nick

Hi
A client sent me a WMS URL they want to use in MapXtreme which is embedded in our product. When I zoom to the area for the WMS data, the app crashes. Using the same WMS in MI Pro I get the error 'The server issue the following exception: No overlay dataset available'. MI Pro does not crash but I wondered if the problem is the same.
What does 'No overlay dataset available' mean and what should the WMS provide?
I can load the WMS in QGIS.
These are the capablities - https://map.staffordshire.gov.uk/PRoW/wms.exe?service=WMS&version=1.3.0&request=GetCapabilities
