Hi everyone,

Sorry for not responding but I am not receiving your replies in my mailbox. 
Luckily I have viewed the Archive on the website. Thanks for all your replies. 
I will get back to you asap, I don’t have full access to all Drill config so 
need someone else to do it for me :)

Regards,

Hielke
