Hi Rick,

Thanks for your fast answer.

If I double click directly from the directory, it is the same thing : the dialog
box asking to open the Objects.csv file, the files part empty, and the folders
part showing the program's directory.
What is strange is that the "program files" part is shortened as PROGRA~1, like
when W95 (or 98, I don't remember) was introduced with half support for long
names. Maybe it is the trail to follow ?

The program's directory contains two .csv files (cities and Objects), one .txt
file (defaults), the program file, and two files related to the
install/uninstall process (ST6UNST.000 ans .LOG).

I there some .OCX to update ? Can you give the correct .OCX version/date/size ?
It is really frustrating to see that so many people uses the tool and find it
great, and not being able to !

Cheers
Laurent
