That could perhaps be the right time to solve this problem. /Fredrik ==================================================================== Fredrik Lundh | mail to fredrik_lundh@ivab.se IV DocEye AB | or call +46 13 200100 Teknikringen 5 | or fax to +46 13 214897 583 30 LINKOPING SWEDEN | ====================================================================
