Thats just it.... the columns are all mixed up.

This is starting to get a bit beyond me, I don't really understand why the normal update doesn't download more than a handful of objects. Perhaps I'll write to the Starry Night people.
From what I can deduce from the SN doco online, their data comes from Lowell Observatory's astorb.dat (currently about 140MB), and SNP only loads the first 100 rows of data.

If you have a genuine SN asteroids.txt file you could send me, assuming I can work out what is what it shouldn't take long to reorder the output from MPC for you.
