Hi James-

> The version is IDV 2.7u2 with build date 2009-08-26 16:33 UTC.

I just tried opening the file that Angie sent (G11.20090602.0715.nc.gz)
in IDV 2.7u2 and it worked.  I had to set the Data Source Type to be
Grid Files (netCDF/GRIB/OPeNDAP/GEMPAK) since the IDV doesn't understand the 
.gz suffix.  Alternatively, if I gunzip the file, the IDV will recognize the 
unzipped file as a grid.

What error are you seeing if this still does not work for you?

Thanks for your patience.
