Hi Tom, Did you ever get this problem solved? I'm fighting the same issue - and if no better solution present it self, I'm going to do it by accessing a file of my choise. If the file doesn't exist - create it and we know we are in the first call. If it does exist - delete it, and we know this is the second call. This is obviously an ugly hack, so I really hope you've come up with something cleaner.
