I wonder why you don't just use the TIB_TransactionBar. It will do just what
you want.

I am not aware of why you had troubles with packages like that. It does seem
a bit odd.

As for using the Trustware version, there is no difference between it and
the full paid version so I'm sure that isn't the issue.
