What data type did you choose when selecting the data? Try selecting "Grid files". That seems to work for me. Or, if you select "I'm Feeling Lucky" and get the window to select a type, again select "Grid ..." instead of "Images from an ADDE server". These choices seem a bit confusing. I'll pass this back by the IDV guys to see if they have any additional comments. Ethan Ticket Details =================== Ticket ID: BML-601603 Department: Support IDV Priority: Normal Status: Open
