Hi Beesnees,

Thanks a lot for having been through all the threads of my post.

There was an other one, which I wanted to discuss with you. It is something related to your reply to one of the other posts.

The one you need depends on the wider context.

This is where I had already initiated a discussion - My first question. Please have a look and let me know.

I know I have made the forum clumsy, by dropping all my questions in the first question section, unknowingly. From later on, I would follow Torsten’s instructions to place them appropriate.

Thanks,
