Thank you for the link, I'll check it but seems that it won't solve the 
problem. But anyway, I found a workaround that doesn't involve to insert 
table reference. 

It's a pity that I am so bad at Lisp because I feel this feature wouldn't be 
too complicated to code, especially if the reference mechanism is already 
implemented.

Thank you again!

Cheers,

Roland.
