I see your point, you are completely right!

You are right, too.

When i was repplying to your message, after stripping some lines of the
trigger code, i have found that the second trigger fire ( not actualy a
real trigger fire ) was caused by a bad logic in the trigger code.

Thank's to all for the repplies.
