I didn't actually ask a question, and I don't mind that you don't have the answer. What I do mind is that you interpreted my statement of frustration as a question, and provided a completely irrelevant answer. You don't need to read minds to understand this, just English. If you take a step back and go through and read the entire thread again from the start, though, I think you will understand my frustration. Evren asked a question which everybody else is doing their best not to answer in as many words as possible; and when I try to answer, I find out that Evren doesn't really know what the question is. This is where - in an ideal world - somebody at R1Soft would jump in and start asking the right questions... DES --=20 Dag-Erling Sm=C3=B8rgrav - des@des.no
