Dear Jens I only have the 2 statements you suggested in my preamble. I will try Richards advice. Best Mike

I don't know what else you have in the preamble, but in order for this to work one needs to make sure that no other package re-defines the counters after your modifications. So I would add the two lines \renewcommand\theequation{\arabic{equation}} [EMAIL PROTECTED] at the very end of the preamble. If this still doesn't work, I would empty out the preamble except for the two lines above, and switch to a basic article class (article, or koma-article), so you can be sure that \theequation is really used as expected.
