Hi Xavier, thanks for your fast answer. OK, then I will check again if I can get it working somehow. If not, I will check if there will be another possibility to make it available via browser.
So thanks again for all your help, have a nice weekend! :D Best regards heusmich [email protected] schrieb am Freitag, 11.
