As Benoit asked you, to be able to answer your questions, you need to subscribe the new mailinglist [0] This is useful for future research [1] If you register up and repeat the question, I can attach the database file you requested. Note that I also don't have the CD but the example is attached to the Gambas to compile, in the folder app > examples
