I'll give that a try, Bill. By the way, I thought it was a magnitude
problem, also. I set the magnitude limit to 50(!) and got more
comets than I knew existed, but Bradfield wasn't one of them. I
tried some more testing and reran the Update MPC... the new way
again, but this time, since I'd already added it via the old tried
and true way, it was still there. I have another PC - my laptop -
that hasn't had its comets updated in at least a montn and therefore
lacks Bradfield. I'll try the laptop with the new beta and use the
new update method and see what happens. I'll let you know. As
always, Bill, thanks for your speedy response.
