Thanks Obrazell! (I thought it was interesting... I found two or three interactions from you over in an old thread from CloudyNights in which you were also helping would-be SkyTools users there too. You are quite the volunteer. Thanks for jumping in!)
OK - I checked on adding it to the Note. On the one hand, I like it that it stays there in the Note even if I remove the object from the active list. (I.e., if I bring it back, the Note is still there.) But evidently, those "Notes" are not searchable (and I can see why they wouldn't be) when trying to find an object in the Designation Search box.
However, the Supplemental Catalog (I searched help and found the dialogue box in the Data Menu) was *exactly* what I needed. It let me add the M.I.A. object and now that object *is* searchable in the Designation search box, exactly as I would have wished. This allows me to tune my database exactly the way I'd like. This is great architecture - and it worked perfectly. Thanks for the help, Obrazell! Inquiry closed!
