    I suspect it said more than that - that's usually the summary error message - after a specific error. Please show the line in the netlist with the vsource component which is referencing the file (if it's a small example, post the entire netlist; presumably you could do this with a simple circuit which just had the source and (say) a resistor to show the problem). Please give the version of spectre used. Please also show the contents of the file too.

    You've given so little information, that it's very hard to know what to suggest.

    Regards,

    Andrew.
