Do you get an error message? Is it unable to open the file, or is it a problem when you go to display the data. If the SpreadSheet can open it, I would think that the IDV could as well and if not, it's a bug. If it's failing on the display, try the Omni Control and see if you can display it there. This is a VisAD SpreadSheet cell. >did i something wrong, or did you know about this limitation ? I didn't know.

If you can provide a sample file, I can try to track down the problem. Also, what version of IDV are you running? Don
