+==== 2.2.7 Error messages ====
+
+If an error occurs when the "Next" button is clicked, an error message is shown in a red text area at the bottom. This is typically errors that only are detected when addressing the database. Don't be intimidated by the sinister look of the message; normally the first part might be instructive. The rest is technical information, that may be useful, if an error in the server or program itself has been found.
