Keelia,

If my memory serves (and it very often does not) I seem to recall that a 
long time ago, CWEC files had the same format as EnergyPlus weather 
files. The CWEC and EPW formats are treated the same in Trnsys and if 
the *.wy3 format is different then that would explain the error.

   Could you send me a sample *.wy3 file? If TRNSYS does not correctly 
read that format then we should make it do so.

kind regards,

  David
