The format string is Type.Multiplicity.Name Name cannot begin with or be a number, as it would be impossible to distinguish multiplicty from name. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2004-02-24 15:23:26] hayk at mail dot ru I muddle up "Expected" and "Actual" results in the my submission. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ The remainder of the comments for this report are too long.
