Tom,

You also need to go to Extras - Asteroid/Comet Options.  Then click Use MPCCORB, Show All Asteroids and then click OK.  Then you will get all of the MPCORB asteroids.

Regards,

Tom

I'm afraid that does not work. None of the asteroids show on the screen. 
Otherwise Guide9 works fine for me with other functions. There is text 
on the top of the file from the MPC though deleting that does not help. 
I have turned asteroids on under DISPLAY / DATA SHOWN.
