Andy,
Thanks for that info. I have not tried those specific combinations myself,
so was not aware of your findings. If one of the Support people was able to
duplicate and report it as a problem, it is likely in the hands of the
developers. Sorry, I don't know when a fix might show up and that might look
like a 'black hole' to you.
Daniel Donnelly
