Hi again, I am some scared to talk about this on the list, last time I try to explain that this do not work, I get a whole bunch of private e-mails that I blame RS and REALbasic. A workaround I found to get my (and an another user) things to work, was trying to be stopped by a bug-report.
So I think I can't help more.
