Hi!

Sorry for the delay, but I am very busy at this
moment. (big network problems at work, have to work at
night too, when the users aren't using the system)
And KMail will not send my mails, so I have to use
yahoo-webmail :>(

so I don't have much expierence with mysql, but I'll
better look into the 
manuel next time.
