Hello Bill

Perhaps I misunderstood this. I have a program that has the facility to
update files from the Internet; I click on 'update' and the rest is seamless,
with a message at the end saying 'updated OK'. When I clicked within Guide,
it went to the local files - hence my interpretation that it had failed (local
is not Internet). I repeated this after reading the forum and this time
selected a stored file. What if I don't have the file? There was no message
to say that it was done successfully so I assumed that it had failed - hence
my post.

best wishes
