You'll also that bug #109948 under "Minor bugs - resolved" is actually for the same prob. I think most people will agree the most important thing is to report the bug and make sure the subject is descriptive so that others running into the bug see that it's already been reported. BTW, it's great that you researched the prob and found the solution on your own. ciao, der.hans -- # [EMAIL PROTECTED] home.pages.de/~lufthans/ www.DevelopOnline.com # Motorraeder toeten nicht.
