<div dir="ltr"><div class="gmail_default" style="font-family:courier new,monospace">Thanks for taking a look at this guys. I think you both confirm for me the suspect source file is the issue. It's not a deal breaker, would just be a nice layer to have for some analysis. There may also be another source somewhere... haven't dug much on that end of the problem yet.</div>

Seemingly a newbie question, and I confess, KML is not something I play<br>
around with very much, but I'm getting an error on a simple Add Vector<br>
Layer operation with a downloaded KML file. I suspect it may be the<br>
source, although a quick peak in Notepad++ looked OK. The links (mostly<br>
to PNGs stored online) that I checked inside the doc are broken, but<br>
would that cause it not to load at all? Would anyone else want to give<br>
it a quick try?<br>

QGIS 2.2 on Windows 7 x64 (install from standalone)<br>

<br>
for me, I guess, if it works for someone else.<br>

Thanks in advance,<br>

I can't get the KML file to open either (QGIS 2.2, Ubuntu 13.10)<br>
<br>
Have you tried just running the KML file from Google Earth?<br>
<br>
The errors I am getitng suggest some non-standard colour tags are being used. If you can open in Google earth try exporting to a different version of KML.<br>
