Hello again,

There was a small mistake in my previous posting. It should have said:

FindRoot[Evaluate[{f[x,y]==0, g[x,y]==0}],{{x,1},{y,1}}]

where f and g are functions that work correctly. Trying to solve one 
equation for two unknowns would cause other problems than I am currently 
having.

Jonas.
