...i was not expecting that i had to convert the serialized data
myself... So thank you for reminding me...

but i do not know yet how i should do that, so may i come back to
michaels offer to send me his scripts? That would be great and help a lot.
Or is it better to post the one with the conversion of serialized data here?

thanks again,
almut
