''It is important to understand'' that when you start MX interactively, or as a service, it reads the contents of '''dayfile.txt''' into an internal array (held in random access memory - RAM).  Therefore, if you run '''CreateMissing.exe''' while ''CumulusMX.exe'' is running, any updates to the file are ''not'' seen by MX until that software is restarted.  Release 3.20.0 (beta build 3199 onwards) adds a new "Utils" menu with a new option to refresh the internal values without restarting MX.
