I wasn't using the names ending in «brief» and «detailed». Personally, when I create new elements of any kind in our installation, I've ben using Catalan names, so it is readily apparent to me that if something goes wrong there it is just my fault, as it has been this case. I'll change the ending to the English conventions and come back to report you later. Thanks for your very complete help and explanation, Jérôme, Ferran
