I think your idea could work if i had only one table starting at the top of the page.
But (sorry that i did not mention that) i have a sequence of tables of different lengths that therefore also may start in the middle of a page. There are tables being only a few rows long an others spanning 2 or 3 pages. So i need something that will work for that case too. Anyway, thanks for your quick response.
