Are you using netcdf 3 or 4 to make the grids? We currently require netcdf 3 grids, but that will change in the (near) future when netcdf 4 grid support is implemented. From memory, the grids need to also have an integer value of depth (in km) at the end of the filename, preceded by a hyphen or underscore (e.g., ilovegplates3d_200.grd). You should also not have a grid with the same depths. The grids must be in WGS84 geographic co-ordinates too. I?m not sure that the file extension should matter ? it should be either nc or grd, from memory. Let me know if these suggestions help. Otherwise, happy to continue troubleshooting.

I think the "program files" directory doesn't generally have write permission on newer Windows operating systems - the error message indicates that the imported scalar field file cannot be opened for writing. By the way, your error message is attached (I had changed some content filtering rules on the list that must have stripped it - the rules are back to normal now so hopefully won't get stripped in future). Regards, John Hi Sabin, Thanks for your response. I've attached the error message this time. The grids were made with netcdf 3, and imported without error on a Mac running GPlates 2.0.
