"didn't find the documentation to be very clear", "I am not seeing it." - perhaps provide useful details of what went wrong in docs, and then someone sufficiently authorized could ensure to get that fixed soon? Otherwise the next Clueless To Be Enlightened Person (tm) [nothing against the OP, mind you!] comes along and experiences the very same unspeakable trouble again... So much for the "teach a man to fish" errmm "teach a document to educate" approach... HTH, Andreas Mohr
