Hi Lawrence,
How are you looking at Guide.dat? If in Notepad, you can indeed get
this problem - I just have, so occasionally I'll open such a file in
Word - I just have! (I suspect it works the same in Wordpad as well).
Not sure what you mean by "I have edited this to show a ; after the
.dat".
Perhaps you could send me your Guide.dat file and I'll have a look at
it for you. You'll need to tell me where your mpcorb file is as well
though.
Cheers,
Roger
