Thanks Linda, that was the problem. I had renamed the file extension. The utilities you provided worked just fine.

Where did you put your .fmt file
It doesn't seem to be able to find it. Or it can't open it.
Did you convert the bin file to fmt? or just rename an extension.
The tools to convert bin files can be found in this folder:

I am trying to convert a DOE2 weather file (.fmt) to an .epw file and am recieving the following error and don't know where to begin to remedy the error. Any advice out there for me? I am not sure where to start troubleshooting.
