Peter,

thank you very much for you response and advice.
I saw your response yesterday very late, I almost gave up waiting for any response on my problem :-)

I have tried it in my test application and the problem is gone as well.

Now, I have to do it in my real application...

Thanks again!

Best regards,
Goran.
