This is fantastic news!
You're welcome, and I'm delighted that this helped to get things
working. (I also appreciate you taking the time to write back.)
The community here was instrumental in helping me get my problem
resolved, which resulted in me writing these steps, so knowing that
there's a snowball effect so-to-speak occurring here with people
helping each other is, to me, an indication that this community is
continuing on the right track.
