OK, now I'm running 6 Jun 2007 version.

If I have to resinstall GUIDE on a computer, will I have to overlay the CD install with the 30 March 2007 update and then overlay that with the 6 Jun 2007 update???

Anyway, with the 6 Jun 2007 version I'm still not getting asteroid labels on the un-numbered asteroids and it still can't find them with the "Go to">"Asteroid" option. I using the January 23, 2008, MPCORBcd.data file.

Next idea?

Tanks!

Try the beta one at found at http://www.projectpluto.com/new.htm

It works just fine and should have the fix included

See the first note for the problem explanation
