Hi, thanks for your help. I did as you advised. The disadvantage is that I had to copy the actual test process 5 times but it was the only possibility I found and it worked. :-) And yes: I have to have the threads to jump up in steps since this is the requirement for that testing job. It was not my idea ;-)
