Thank you, Milan
Starting to get the grip on mailing lists... sorry for slow learning. I have turned off digesting. This is my last post doing it "the wrong way". If I have understood correctly I will receive a mail for each reply to my posts and I will reply to them again. Correct me if I am wrong... (until now I have only received the digest and replied to that)
Since I am at the office now, I will look into your suggestions this evening. Thank you for those. I hope the debugging gives some useful results. Posting back this evening
Best regards
