good day Helen
-=00-==-0-0=0=-

thanks for the reply. I understand that D3 is old that is why we are trying to convert our app to D2005,
but we are doing it phased as it is a BIG app that still needs to run in the work enviroment AND answer to
customers current demands. Thus my PROBLEM . I need to make changes for customer AND convert the
app part by part to D2005 , till all is done. BUT one thing that bothers me is that in IBO 4.5 it did work, was there
a code change regarding this section ?.

If this is the case, we will have to fall back to 4.5 as we have no idea how many other problems there will be thanks to this.
Thus if somebody can PLEASE give me an indication if it will be saver to move back to 4.5 until the convertion is done ?

Thanks in Advance
