FSMetar help?

Hi.Try to download metar file individually from this site:http://weather.noaa.gov/weather/metar.shtmlRight click on for example 06z (save as 06z.txt) and then open from FsMetar. It works without problems.Edin

Thanks for the reply EdinUnfortunately, it didn't work. For whatever reason, FSMetar just does not seem to load the metar.txt document into itslef. Meaning I can read the metar file I d/l with Wordpad but FSMetar cant seem to interpert that data. I have the 1.5.2 version along with the fix file.I created a folder inside the root directory of FS9 for FSMetar thinking maybe it needed to be there, but still no luck. The only thing I can think of is that I am missing a file somewhere. I did get the errors when I 1st tried to run the program regarding the .ocx & .dll files missing. I got them from MS and installed them but it still didnt help. Also, does this program us MS Access at all? When I unziped the files, an Access database showed up in the folder but I couldnt read that file, likely because of my older version of Access (V 2.0). Can this be related somehow? I'm at a loss as to why so many others have it working but it wont on my machine.Oh well, "If it weren't for bad luck I'd have no luck at all!"Thanks again. Any other ideas?Jim
