Hi Martin, I'm actually having a full back track on my thought.. If a resource is anything that can be named, then I have it's name / can describe what it is, so I should stop being lazy and at least give what tiny bit of information I know (even if just the name). The above may have been the solution I needed all along (gulp) Regards, Nathan Martin J. Dürst wrote: > You say that there will be something there in about a week. What about > just waiting a week?
