Hi Bertrand,

Thanks for the response, but I think we got our signals crossed here! I
thought you were referring to the Common Names of stars, and you thought I
was referring to the Common Names of DSOs. This DSO .TDF has been
incorporated into Guide, and the Dwingeloos (for example) are listed at
Goto|Nebula|Common names|.

However, when I type Goto|Object|Dwingeloo 1 (or 2), Guide crashes with the
usual Guide6 MFC error dialog. I get these crashes often, and it seems
always to be in the Goto dB.

Bill, do Goto|Object name/ and Goto|Nebula|Object name/ access the same dB?
When I type in names I know do _not_ exist (doodlebug, sadsack, georgebush)
Guide crashes.

I've put a few back in. Download
