Hello Jan!
You wrote me the following:

I know that I can index on such a function, but why should I make a slower 
index when the files are so big? The users enter the data in, for instance, 5 
get's and a function puts them in the right order and with the right 
separators in one field. So the user doesn't have to struggle with the 
Alt-codes. By the way, my purpose is that the user can always use every 
character that's on his keyboard.
