If someone is going further on that .ini corruption, I just noted something maybe useful. The problem is not that CellArray are not listed in the "Color by" combo box: If you try with PointSource -> GenerateIds instead of SphereSource -> GenerateIds then the CellArray is visible. As the sphere source integrates a normal computation, I suspect a sort of "MaxNumberOf..." blocking the number of arrays to 2.
Anyway, Mike found the workaround. Thanks again! HTH Jerome 2010/3/3 Jérôme <jerome.ve...@gmail.com> > Fine!
