No offense - but I feel better now. :)

It's so frustrating when someone can get something working and you can't.

There is obviously a problem - dunno if it is AB, QT or the pluggin - but 
there is a problem.

Hopefully we can get it sorted out - it sounds as if it would be so nice to 
be working correctly.
