I did this also. Had things working, upgraded, now they
don't work. I posted my state of affairs two days ago. NO
response. Terrible to "upgrade" something and break a
working configuration that took quite a while to perfect.
Microsoft programmers are dangerous, non-testing people
who hurry to market. Then don't fix their errors!!!
Heard this most of my career and didn't believe it. Now I
Have evidence. Shame it's true....
