DPCC doesn't get RA,DEC from FITS header

I've got CCD images made with Maxim DL 5.  The FITS headers include OBJCTRA and OBJCTDEC.  
I've input those in AIJ Data Processer > General FITS Header Settings > FITS Header Input Settings.  
Also in the DP window I've put:
Target Coordinate Source = FITS Header target RA/DEC (J2000)
Observatory Location source = Coordinate Converter manual entry.

In the DPCC window, I've indicated Observatory ID = Smith College's McConnell Observatory

But the RA and DEC of the target do not appear in the DPCC's Standard Coordinates section.

This problem propagates through the rest of multi-aperture photometry, and means that in the measurements table, HJD_MOBS=NaN, I guess because it doesn't know where the target is.

How can I get the DPCC to read the RA and DEC of the target properly from the FITS header?

Thanks,
