I described to the best of my knowledge what is my problem. If that wasnt good enough for you then no problem. It's not worth further debate. It's almost impossible for me to debate with someone who doesnt have ChessBase but who thinks that he can solve exactly my little tech problem with the actual ChessBase. Certainly it's a rather theoretical problem of mine. I dont like to lose information. But in the end I would prefer to lose the "numbers" of INF rather than losing the fabulous INF commntaries. In the end it might look as if I were just a bureaucrat who's storing chess informations into databases. This is completely wrong. I am no longer playing for the Wch but I am still a very dangerous opponent for almost every chessplayer living on this planet. <Hope that everybody is believing me so far.> Thanks very much Dave, nice to get such a support, Rolf
