Hi John

Thanks for the tip. When this problem surfaced, editing the db-file was  
what I thought might help. It did not. Now, based on your input I gave it  
another try - and this time it worked. No idea what went wrong during my  
first trial. Thanks.

wrt your aside-remark: I feel too much as a newbe to tackle this right  
now. May be later.....

Regards Robert
