OK, thanks for the replies. Let me get some data downloaded using the Excel hyperlinks to the USGS web site first. I tried last night but after about 30 minutes I got an error message asking me to try again later. When I get to the processing step, I will start a new thread in the map making forum. My computer has a 1.99 GHz processor, 512 MB RAM and about 23 GIG on the hard drive. Is this enough to do this??
