Sorry 'bout that. Been working with Excel too much lately :-(

Thanks for the fix. That did it :)

Started DAWS this morning and it has no worksheet. The File/New worksheet menu option is disabled, as well. Last thing in the status window is 'searching for core updates'.

Is this an early expiration (only had the eval about 2 wks) ? Or is something else going on?

Hmm... hadn't noticed that at first, given the difference in numbering, but it appears you are correct!


Thanks again.

That'd be great. I'm looking for the Chicago CWA, out of KLOT.

I guess that makes sense, though the message is pretty obscure.

I only really want the zone polygons that include our CWA, but don't have any way to extract a subset of the Shape file :(

I grabbed the AWIPS forecast zone shapefiles ( http://weather.gov/geodata/catalog/wsom/html/pubzone.htm ), but can't seem to get them to load. DAWS gives an 'out of range' error and then appears to hang (hourglass displayed but no CPU use). Is there a trick to this, or some limitation on the shape ...

Same here. Hope he gets back before my eval runs out!

I tried importing some data under the GRIB directory of the NDFD (http://www.nws.noaa.gov/ndfd/), but have trouble getting it loaded. It gives the error message:

This GRIB data needs bitmap mask table 21 provided by the forecast center.

Any clues what this means?
