Thanks a meg! I'm having extended internet outages these weeks :-( I'm not sure I understand exactly what you mean, I do have a rough idea though. But since the new banks are here to stay (for sure) I thought I really had no other option but to begin converting every RG file (got about 20 of 60 done). The 'upper' is that in return for the work I do get better files; all in all I still think the ultimate solution is a rewrite of the applicable code but that really isn't my business ...it' s so easy to ask compared to delivering :-) Cheers ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Download BIRT iHub F-Type - The Free Enterprise-Grade BIRT Server from Actuate!
