My mistake Dec 20, 2011

Hi,

Thanks for your feedback!

I really must have been too busy to not see the answer to my question myself.

At that time I was working in a project that a client of mine created for me. He didn't deactivate the 'Do not segment after tabs' (or what is it called in XV) checkbox.

Everything clear now.

BR,

Hans
