Thanx a million for the tip, a great feature that should not be hidden away.... ;-) (or maybe I'm slow....)
Anyway, I'm getting more and more impressed by FME cap. (3 months experience) but the help function for translators are often not very precise. I often get the impression that descriptions are 2-3 versions behind, or that they are copied form other similar translators but not adjusted porperly. Then its great that Safe support and Yahoo user group gives fast and good solutions!!
