20050310 (ubuntu) and i've also tried crossover office and both show exactly 
the same behaviour.

AFAIK there are no pbulic pages.

ask baan i fear. BUT: you also need a baan server to connect to in order to 
reproduce the problem. i fear this is no option.

yes, and i will ask them too ...


an other question: the baan clinet seems to use the fixedsys font with 
windows. by now i've found no way to use this font with wine. is ther a 
solution for this. read many things about fonts with out any success.


TIA
