hi
I don't have any problem about versions as it is for private use. I have 
downloaded this 2 soft and run them without trouble, but now, I'm just 
wondering how this behavior could happen. Moreover, someone on win32 
list told me to check my OS language setting. I installed the US 
keyboard model and everything was ok, but with french configuration, 
this problem is remaining. Anyway, Administrator and Query Browser seems 
to be more nice to use, so it is easier to work on it. Thanks for help
