The goal of this investigation was to use the improved positions of the Einstein Slew Survey to help identify sources in background fields and; the North Ecliptic Pole region of Ginga data. Our main progress has been on the former of these two goals. In July, 1996, we performed a detailed search of the background regions at Leicester, UK. Only one of the Slew/Ginga fields had a high enough count rate (greater than 3 LAC cts s(exp -1)) for an unambiguous detection, given the known fluctuations in the LAC background. However, this one field contains a DQ Her star, which is very interesting in its own right.
