Hi Wes, Thanks for replying!
Unfortunately, I did try to build the latest versions of APE (1.1, 1.2) but had problems with connecting to MySQL. >From what I have read in this forum, there are still issues with that, so I don't have the time to spend on buggy releases. I must use MySQL. We might move away from MySQL in the future, and write our own data provider to another database, and then I'll look into your solution. many thanks!
