Hi Trying to use eudc-query-form and entering a search for a name gives: Signaling: (wrong-type-argument char-or-string-p nil) insert(nil "\n") (lambda (val-elem) (indent-to col) (insert val-elem "\n"))(nil) mapcar((lambda (val-elem) (indent-to col) (insert val-elem "\n")) (nil nil nil nil nil)) (if match (progn (eval ...)

Any hints ?? This used to work with my old cygnus B20.1 installation of XEmacs 21.1 "20 Minutes to Nikko" [Lucid] (i586-pc-cygwin32) and the same eudc el-files. Ciao Volker
