Steven,

I want to thank you for your answer to my question in the
Sharepoint Newsgroup.
I don't understand why, but your suggestions works fine :-
)
I'm puzzled though about why the web part seems to FILTER
on "audience"
if we set GROUPING grouping to "grouping by audience".
To my knowledge grouping never implies filtering as well.
Is there a logical explanation for it ? Or did you find
out by trial and error ?
Once more: thanks
