Thanks Hendrik!!! I'll have to find a copy and then try to remember my 2 1/2 years of High School French. Let's just say that it was a long time ago... Doc

Hendrik, Byrne's book is the only book on Belgian ODms that I have. Byrne's book is obviously short of important information. Is there a book you can recommend? Doc

Thanks Hendrik!!! I'll have to update his book. I've already had to do it with some other ODMs. Doc
