Hello Stefano....
You will want to load "NEA Today" (NEAm00):
http://www.minorplanetcenter.org/iau/MPCORB/NEAm00.txt
and then change the file name AND extension (.dat) to the
mpcorb.dat and neatod.dat names.

Having both datasets (identical except for different names) in Guide will allow the same
dataset to match in both Guide and Charon.
