Hi Tom, > OK, I just tried this with the WebStart 4.0 version, and here's the > Exception. The file size on my disk is : 20,776,584 bytes. Got me. > Don't spend a lot of time on this one..... The exception below sounds like a bug that Don saw and fixed last week. Basically, if none of the convention parsers recognized the dataset, we tried to use the last parser in our list which resulted in a null pointer exception. Now, the code should recognize that no convention parser was found and not call one. So, it should work now. And, ToolsUI 4.0 Webstart works for me on my copy of your file (which is the same size). You might try clearing your webstart cache and reloading ToolsUI 4.0.
