In a scenario: I have a vegetation grid cell coded as a water value: 15, 16, 17, 18, or 19 and the corresponding cells in the DEM and slope rasters are NoData.
Is that cell used to calculate fetch? Is that cell used in determining adjacency to water?  Or is that cell in the Blank total?

What is the threshold/criteria SLAMM uses to determine an area to be tropical and everything converts to mangrove?

I have come across 3 issues with screen input and output.  A scenario with 5 year time steps until 2040 was run and saved to a .SLAMM6 file.  I used Load Simulation to load it again, and then changed the time step to 25 years and end date to 2100.  My eye happened to catch the fact that the 2100 got changed back to 2040!  I tried a few more times to change it to 2100, but it  would not stay.  I let the run continue (25 year time step to 2040).   It did process to year 2025, and then got  a range check error.  I have gotten range check error  before on previously  working simulation runs, and I am wondering if this was the problem.

When SLAMM tries to paste a map to Word (2007), it opens Word, then gets an error "Runtime error copying map to Microsoft Word for year X.  Retry writing map to Word? Yes or No?"  Yes would get the error  message again.  No would produce no map.  I found that if you paste a screen shot (or probably any object)  into Word and THEN answer yes, the maps paste without any further problem.

In my model input, I have a  large area coded as Open Ocean.   However, on both the maps pasted into Word and on the screen,  the Open Ocean appears white.  The default Legend has it symbolized as dark blue.  Why is that happening?

I am trying to run SLAMM 6, but cannot get to enter Map Attributes. All the txt files are the same dimensions in the same directory with 4GB memory in my computer.  5 meter cell size, so it ends up being ~30 million cells.  First, I entered the file names and site parameters,  and when I tried to enter Map Attributes I got a range check error.  I looked up the forum advice for that, exited the model and tried again using the ignore high elevations and water.  The count was about 23 million cells and ~1.3GB memory usage.  But, in Map Attributes I got a Error creating map in memory, write map to disk instead?  Clicking Yes or No gave me a Range Check error. Now, however, when I try it again, the Count button will only work on "Track all cells".  If I try the other options for Count button, I get the following error: "Must Include SLAMM Code (NWI) Data File".  Of course, the file is there, and is correctly set up as far as I can tell.  Using "Track all cells", I move on and then I then get the Range Check/Error creating Map problem.  I have tried various things:  renaming, moving files, different computer.  What should I try next?   

We are thinking of running SLAMM using 1983 NWI data and 5  year time steps until 2005.
Would it be valid to compare these SLAMM results to past aerial photography/imagery?
We are looking to see if SLAMM will show tree islands (Swamp) in marshes converting to something else,
changes are visible in the photography.  Our known problem is that our LiDAR-derived  elevation data
is from 2007.  Vegetation correlates highly with elevation, would it be sensible to turn
the preprocessor on in the above scenario?  Thinking about the model's T0 has generated the question,
if the model start date is 1990 and the time step is 25 years, how is the first time step ending in year 2025?
