I installed no specific patch at the mentioned site, since I am always very cautious about installing something where ----------------- This is interim fix (patch) level 5.2.2.5 It is intended to provide relief for critical problems where a local circumvention is unavailable. A limited amount of testing has been done to verify the fixes. Consequently, we strongly recommend that you perform additional testing before putting the package into a production environment. ----------------- is stated :-) But I keep it in the eye. Thanks anyway, I'll keep you updated :) Greetings, Sascha Askani
