  The excluded tan(beta) range and Higgs boson mass regions in the framework of
the Minimal Supersymmetric extension of the Standard Model (MSSM) depend on
several parameters. The Higgs boson masses, cross-sections and branching
fractions have been determined including two-loop diagrammatic calculations.
The limits obtained with a more general scan over the parameter space of the
MSSM are compared with those in the so-called benchmark scenario. The
combination of the searches for Higgs particles in the 1999 data collected by
the DELPHI collaboration at center-of-mass energies between 191.6 and 201.7 GeV
allows stringent limits to be set in combination with previous DELPHI results.
In addition, an interpretation in the framework of the general MSSM scan of the
2000 LEP data at the hightest energies between 201.7 and 209.0 GeV is given. We
show that the current data for the HZ and hA production can be comfortably
accommodated in the MSSM.
