Hi :)
I think
Heinrich Stoellinger
found his way to the lists and asked us here a week or 2 ago? I'm sure i
remember the name I think Alex helped him although it might have been one of
the other stars here that help people with Base in a very in-depth way.
If i mis-remembered and it hasn't been sorted then i'm sure it can wait until
the new year.
Regards from
Tom :)

There is a "List-Style" question about an issue with it, in one of the
comments posted in the Extension Center. Something is now working for
someone. Maybe someone might got look at it and see if they can figure
out what the issue it.
The error message is at the bottom of the page.
