But, you are on the 3.0u2, it should be working for you if the dataset is locally. I think this is a problem of the ramadda server. I will check with Jeff to see any solution available. In the mean time, you can download the dataset locally and load into the IDV. Yuan Ticket Details =================== Ticket ID: VJZ-635501 Department: Support IDV Priority: Normal Status: Open
