Gentlemen(?), this thread is done. Finished. Over. Deceased. It is, to paraphrase Monty Python, an ex-thread.
The problem has been characterized and the solution to it,
SteveInWA's step-by-step instructions in Reply #4, has been posted.
All of the subsequent replies (blah blah blah
should blah blah
ought to blah blah blah
fraud blah blah
I'm leaving blah) is just noise.

Kbye.
