Hi everybody, I'm a bit disappointed, because there was really no feedback to my mail. The situation is a real problem for me - is there anything missing? Or is there no way to recover (can't believe that ...)? Wrong way or place to ask? Then please tell me where to go ... I tried to find a solution myself (also with help of Google ...), but it did not help me. Bye Richard Kampmann Am Dienstag, 28.
