Hi

I am having a problem with setting up my own list of observatories.  At the moment when I open cordinate converter I get an error message that says

"ERROR: Could not create observatories.txt file for user customisation".  

If I click OK the message goes away and CC works fine.  However now I would like to create a custom list of observatories so I selected the "use custom observatories list" in CC preferences but now, after restarting, I get an error message saying

"No custom observatory list found at: C:\PROGRA~2\AIJ\ASTROI~\observatories.txt.  using internal observatory list. "

I would be really grateful if someone could explain how I can clear these errors and set up my custom list of observatories?

Many thnaks

Mark
