Re: Reading HDF files "The specified HDF file does not exist or can't be opened"

Hello,

Thank you all for the recommendations! I checked the permissions of the

It seems that the file is corrupt. I will ask the provider to resend the
file, and I will let you know if there are additional problems.

Thank you much,
Mike
