you are right and now it works, thank you. But there are several 
misleading points, which urgently should be changed:

1) The InputOutputReference, Page 174, says clearly, that the file 
has to be placed in the same folder, where the IDF-file is. This is 
logical and also necessary, if you have different constructions with 
the same name in different idf-files.

2) The error message I got was not helpful. E+ did not tell me, that 
the file was not found, and where it was searched. I received the 
following message:

> No match on WINDOW5 data file for Construction=DGLOWE, or error in 
data file.

What the hell is this? Why does Energy+ not say: an error occured, 
something is wrong? This would be even helpful.

Best regards
Eckehard
