    Steve,
    1. TPM1 is probabaly the volume in the DB that has been there the 
    longest, so any problem you have comes from something other than it not 
    being in the DB.  I assume you have successfully used the db for other 
    volumes.  If so, I would be mystified as to why you don't find this one. 
     I looked at the BrTPMTrackVertexModule and there is nothing mysterious 
    about how things are accessed, so it has to work.
    
    2. To look in the db, I have a GeoDbBrowser which is in 
    brahms_apps/kh_apps.  It connects to the db using insert, so you need to 
    (after building it) use the command:
    GeoDbBrowser -u query
    Then you get a gui and you type the name of the volume you want to look 
    for, then type return in that edit box to trigger the search.  I think 
    it is self explanatory, but you can filter on which range of runs of 
    periods of validity to look for.  If you find the volume of interest in 
    there, you have to be able to find it in BrTPMTrackVertexModule.
    
    3. Back to 1. Is the run selected using the run db manager?  That is 
    necessary.  I suppose I should put in a protection to inform users if 
    they try to access the geometry db without having selected a run.  It 
    needs that information to get the angle setting etc.
    
    Let me know, because I think that very soon the .geo file option will be 
    disabled and if this turns out to be a problem, it needs to be fixed.
