Still trying. Went back to older June 2007 version. GCVS Stars after V423 Vul do show up but no labels. V422 Vul has a label. Weird. Found all works on old desktop (same version). Will cull the files to see what is changed or different.

I can view the variable V422 Vul Last one on the GCVS4.dat file but unable to do so if using iii.dat or when renamed GCVS4. Guide will recognize variable star data on the 7/30/2003 file but not on later files. Hope Bill can help.
