Hi Hans, Currently I am using the following version under Windows: ConTeXt ver: 2003.11.26 fmt: 2003.11.27 int: english mes: english and pdfeTeXk, Version 3.141592-1.11a-2.1 The attached code-sample breaks with an error of "missing number". Because I am sure, that this kind of table compiled previously I tried the following Next to the current installation I run on a linuxbox ConTeXt ver: 2003.7.3 fmt: 2003.7.7 int: english mes: english without problem and pdfeTeX, Version 3.14159-1.00b-pretest-20020211-2.1 The attached code compiles to expectation. Is there something changed in the bTABLE-eTABLE environment? Thanks for looking into it. Kind regards Willi
