Hi!

I haven't got the data set, but tried hitting Alt-J to add the UCAC4_PATH
to see where it is stored in the Guide config (after all, how hard can this
thing really be?), and I found this:

1) I pressed Alt-J and entered UCAC4_PATH=<some path>
2) I sorted the files in my Guide folder so which had changed, and found a
few
3) I found that there was a UCAC4_PATH entry in guide.dat
4) I ALSO found that there already was a line in guide.dat reading
"DLG_3025=UCAC4_PATH=C:\Program Files (x86)\guide9\UCAC4" (well, not sure
if it was there before or after)

This line is wrong, I don't know what the correct value for DLG_3025 should
be, but if you have any trouble with UCAC4_PATH, open guide.dat (in
Notepad++ or another decent text editor), and veryify that your

UCAC4_PATH=C:\Program Files (x86)\guide9\UCAC4

entry is on a separate line, and not messed up with other settings.

Hope this helps! It has been bugging me watching all the group traffic on
this issue, but it seems like Guide is messing up guide.dat under certain
circumstances when people press Alt-J to enter the UCAC4_PATH.

Arild :)
