In your case, the data is using a custom projection. Custom projections are not supported by the File Geodatabase API. We are considering support for custom projections in a later release of the API.

I am getting the same "Invalid function argument" error when trying to open layers with a "custom" CRS.  If "custom" projections are not yet supported by the API: it would *really* help if one could open the tables for reading the coordinates, even if the CRS information for the "custom" projection would have to fall back to "Unknown", "Custom", or something.

Lance,

Thank you for the reply. Why does the API need to know the projection, seems that would be something the calling application would need to figure out, unless there is some reprojection or something happening in the API that I'm not aware of. All that I'm really concerned about is extracting the coordinates, I can ask the user for the projection if I can't automatically figure it out from the XML.

Thanks,

Mike
