Right on.<br>
<br>
And thanks to the other posters as well (Including Raymond Wagner).<br>
Your answers were very much appreciated. I now understand the problem<br>
and I will wait and see if it is addressed in the future versions! I<br>
will not dare changing the database or compiling from source without<br>
CEC. I'm too afraid of breaking everything.<br>
<br>
Continue your great work.<br>
<br>
Bonne journée!<br>
<br>
