I will just top-post here because I am not really responding to any part of the message.
This is a mailing list that is archived. It would be helpful to future readers stumped at a similar issue later on, to be specific in what the problem was, and what worked. Just summarize what helped, or be specific in your response to a previous suggestion. It might also be helpful to tag the particular subject line with an indicator that it contains the solution. Thanking people is great, and should be done -- everyone is a volunteer who is helping with their knowledge, and all at the expense of their time and effort that could be spent on other personal things for them -- but their work is even more appreciated if that help that they provide here can make a difference to others. I think that is what at least some of us are trying to say.
