Hi Jim,

Strange.
Repeated the same procedure for another event, no problems adding extra
witnesses but strange thing now: it kept the original order in which
witnesses were attached (as it should be in my opinion). Which system do you
use by the way: entering ID-nrs, entering the name and use autocompletion,
or selecting from the picklist?
I used all three methods and all three stuck.

Maybe deleting a witness and then adding it again might 'trigger' something?

Gr. Wim
