Ah I see, I'll check if everything is properly indexed.

Oh I thought it was a standard property of all objects... I was just 
wondering about this because the number of objects grow by time and with 
certain builders like this one, the amount grows *very* fast... so in a 
few years time you'll get a huge amount of objects... it's nice to keep 
an archive of all old objects but the question is how long can it keep 
growing before you run into trouble? :)

Ricardo.
