6 years later users still don't understand. :) But that's okay, that's why we are here.

Could you describe the problem as you are seeing it in more detail, please?

I answered a (possibly) similar question earlier: viewtopic.php?f=1&p=100503#p100503

I hope this helps, regards, rob0

I gloomily came to the ironic conclusion that if you take a highly intelligent person and give them the best possible, elite education, then you will most likely wind up with an academic who is completely impervious to reality.
